I am a buyer in California interested in purchasing a condo with delinquent
HOA. The condo complex consists of both residential and retail units. The original builder (who still owns the retail units) filed for bankruptcy in 2009, so all the retail units' HOA remained unpaid. First of all, I am not an expert in bankruptcy law, so I don't know how long it will take and what would happen if those units stay delinquent for a long time. What would be the risk for me as a buyer? And would I be able to get a lender who is willing to lend in this situation?
