Well said JF!

I will try to follow what happens at Condado closely for the next 12 months. It’s important to protect your investment, not everyone wants the best for you always. But all actions must be based on facts and consequence.

I really enjoy my time at CDA, I try to visit 6-7 times/year. As I work full time here back home, that’s all I get. Next summer I will try to spend 7-8 weeks there. It’s the best investment I have ever made, maybe not economically (I don’t rent out either), but in quality of life. I like it when things around me are clean and tidy, and I want it to stay that way. We can start to see that Condado is not brand new anymore, painting and replacing of tiles in gardens/pools is needed next year. I have already prepared to pay extra for that, this is something the community MUST do. If it can be done without extra payment that is of course the best thing, but if not it still has to be done. If not, then we are in trouble. What is written on here is not that important I think, I read it before I made the purchase almost 2 years ago. Not all positive back then either. But after doing more research and visiting this beautiful resort for 1 day, I went ahead and bought. Had Condado not looked this great, I would have invested my money elsewhere.

It’s going to take a lot more than rocket science to paint CDA for 650.000 euro, I think Harry Potter will have to be called for. We could probably use his help with recovering the debt as well if we expect to get the whole amount of 650.000.

Either way there is no time to wait for this money to come in. The resort is already in need for painting and renovation. So far it has been an easy task to keep the resort well maintained, it’s more or less a question of cutting the grass and hedges, and replacing a few broken tiles and light bulbs. That’s one of the good things with a brand new resort.

In the future we will have to spend a lot more than we have done on keeping the resort looking good. There are still a lot of loose tiles, the pool areas already needs to be maintained (lot of tiles missing in the pool, sealing lacking etc.) And the painting will take a lot of time and probably a few million euros. We have to get started as soon as possible. This is not a question of ML or no ML, it’s something we have to do to protect our investment. I think it calls for a significant rise in community fees (at least for some period of time), or a one-time payment from every owner to at least get the painting done for now.
