Buying a condo in the Boston Seaport requires due diligence focused on waterfront and climate resilience, condo fees and potential special assessments, and developer and building reliability. Confirm whether the building is in a FEMA flood zone and whether flood insurance is required by lenders or the condo association. Ensure the project is warrantable for standard lender financing, since commercial space ratios and investor-heavy ownership can affect loan eligibility. For new construction, verify punch-list rights, including what happens if construction is delayed and whether walkthroughs occur before closing to identify defects. Review investor ratios that may limit lender willingness. Also check restrictive short-term rental rules and pending assessments for luxury amenities.
"Investor Ratios: Lenders often avoid buildings where a large percentage of units are owned by investors rather than primary residents."
