5 things to check before signing the Tropicana Bay Residences SPA
- 1.Sinking fund health — confirm the current balance and whether any special assessment is pending in the next 12 months.
- 2.Last 3 maintenance billings — verify payment is up to date and there are no outstanding dues from the seller.
- 3.JMC minutes (last 12 months) — look for recurring complaints, structural concerns, or planned major works.
- 4.Common-area condition — physically walk the pool deck, lifts, lobbies, gym, and parking ramps. Photo anything concerning for negotiation leverage.
- 5.Internal pipes + electrical — for buildings 10+ years old, ask for a recent plumbing inspection report. Pipe replacement is a five-figure capex you don't want to discover post-VP.

Ask the listing agent to provide these as part of the offer process.
