        "text": "When evaluating a waterfront condo association, look for a well-managed association with strong financial reserves. Review their governing documents, including CC&Rs, bylaws, and recent meeting minutes, to understand rules on rentals, pets, and major projects. Key preparation involves examining the association's reserve study to ensure funds are adequate for future capital expenditures like seawall repairs, roof replacements, and elevator maintenance. This is particularly crucial in areas like Brickell Key or Williams Island, where maintaining waterfront infrastructure is essential. Also, inquire about any pending special assessments.",
