Prepare for a tour without forgetting the documents
Turn a community profile’s missing or weak evidence into a practical list of documents to request and questions to ask before touring, depositing, or signing.
What should I request before touring a 55+ community?
Request current governing documents, fee schedules, resale disclosures, budgets, reserve information, insurance summaries, meeting minutes, pending assessment notices, and written rules for age policy, guests, rentals, pets, parking, clubs, golf, and exterior changes. Use the worksheet to keep unanswered items visible; it does not schedule a tour or send a lead.
Plan the tour without hiding the source gaps
Choose a community, see which documents and questions matter most, then copy or print a no-send checklist for your own research.

- What price, incentives, lot premiums, or resale assumptions apply to the exact home being considered?
