But that's the problem though. Most of the unit owners in a lot of the newer buildings are amateur landlords who don't give a damn about long term maintenance. They are cash flow negative or barely breaking even and couldn't care less if the building reserve fund is properly funded. They are mostly hoping to flip. All these buildings designed and marketed to specuvestors are very much a problem and future liability.
