Can I sell a Florida condo when the HOA fees are higher than the mortgage?

List recurring dues, assessment installments, and one-time charges on separate lines. Confirm each figure against the association budget, ledger, notices, and payment schedule.

Owners whose payoffs, association balances, and liens may exceed the expected proceeds should use the payoff or equity shortfall guide. That is different from an ongoing monthly carrying cost.

Collect the current budget, dues schedule, assessment notices, insurance information, reserve or SIRS records, milestone reports, and recent minutes that exist. Note the date and source for every amount instead of combining them into one informal figure.

A buyer’s lender may review the borrower’s obligations and the condominium project, including reserves, insurance, assessments, and repairs. Only that lender decides qualification and project eligibility. The project-financing guide addresses that separate review.

Compare current competition and explain documented services without predicting lower fees. Update the record if the board changes the budget, assessment, insurance, or repair plan while the property is marketed.
