<prompt> Human: I found a fairly good deal on a co-op building which is ran by a board of people. Anyone have any experiences good or bad with co-op condo unit? My past experiences with associations were good and bad, currently my townhome is on its fourth property management association.Should I sit on one of their meetings? Should I talk to the other unit owners? Suggestions???  <response>: The best thing about owning a co-op is being in a co-op. The worst thing about owning a co-op is being in a co-op.Every co-op is different so its hard to say anything beyond do a lot of research.
