Miami condo unit + building checklist
Pre-screen a Miami condominium as two inseparable assets: the unit you will use and the building whose rules, finances, reserves and decisions you will share.
01
Before touring, decide what deserves verification.
Use the checklist with the available listing and building information. Do not fill gaps with assumptions: classify each topic, identify the source and assign the next question to the appropriate professional.
- 01
Identify the unit and intended use.
- 02
Separate evidence about the unit from evidence about the building.
- 03
Mark what is confirmed, what should be requested and what may be material.
- 04
Print the checklist to compare properties through the same structure.

How to read the checklist
- 01
Confirmed means evidence exists; it does not automatically mean the result is favorable.
- 02
Request identifies missing or outdated information that should be obtained before relying on it.
- 03
Attention marks a potentially material consequence that should be measured and assigned to the appropriate professional.
A working checklist—not condominium approval
This tool organizes a preliminary reading. It does not interpret contracts or documents, create contingencies or replace inspection, engineering, appraisal, legal review, title, insurance, financial analysis, lender approval or association confirmation. Always use current documents and transaction-specific advice.
