Oh my gosh, I can totally see Machete with a small cactus. I feel like if he had one it would be very dear to him and probably the most colorful thing he owns.

The Power of Chanting: Unveiling the Ancient Practice Shaina Tranquilino April 8, 2024

In a world filled with constant noise and distractions, finding moments of peace and tranquility can seem like an elusive dream. However, nestled within the annals of ancient traditions lies a practice that has endured through the ages, offering a pathway to inner harmony and spiritual connection: chanting.

Chanting, the rhythmic repetition of sounds, words, or phrases, has been an integral part of various spiritual and cultural practices for millennia. From the Sanskrit chants of Hinduism and Buddhism to the Gregorian chants of Christianity and the mantras of meditation, chanting manifests in diverse forms across different cultures and religions. Despite these variations, the underlying essence remains consistent – the invocation of sacred vibrations to elevate consciousness and foster a deeper connection with the divine.

At its core, chanting serves as a powerful tool for mindfulness and meditation. The rhythmic repetition of sounds serves to anchor the mind, allowing practitioners to transcend the incessant chatter of thoughts and emotions and enter a state of heightened awareness. As one becomes immersed in the rhythmic cadence of the chant, a sense of inner calm begins to permeate the being, paving the way for profound moments of stillness and introspection.

Moreover, chanting has been scientifically shown to have a myriad of physiological and psychological benefits. Studies have demonstrated that the act of chanting can induce a relaxation response in the body, lowering heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of stress hormones such as cortisol. Furthermore, chanting has been linked to enhanced mood, increased focus, and improved cognitive function, making it a valuable tool for promoting overall well-being.

Beyond its individual benefits, chanting also has the power to foster a sense of unity and community. Whether practiced in solitary meditation or as part of a group ceremony, chanting has a unique ability to dissolve barriers and unite individuals in a shared experience of transcendence. In chanting together, participants synchronize their breath and energy, creating a collective resonance that transcends individual boundaries and fosters a sense of oneness with the universe.

In addition to its spiritual and therapeutic qualities, chanting also holds a profound symbolic significance. Across cultures, chants often serve as vehicles for transmitting sacred teachings, myths, and cultural heritage from generation to generation. Through the repetition of sacred texts and mantras, practitioners not only honour ancient traditions but also tap into the wisdom and insights of their ancestors, creating a timeless continuum of spiritual knowledge and understanding.

In today's fast-paced world, the ancient practice of chanting offers a sanctuary of stillness amidst the chaos. Whether seeking inner peace, spiritual connection, or simply a respite from the noise of modern life, chanting beckons us to journey inward and discover the boundless depths of our own being. So, the next time you find yourself overwhelmed by the stresses of life, take a moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in the timeless rhythm of chanting – you may just find the peace and clarity you've been searching for all along.

I woke up with the itch to start learning another language. While I have textbooks for Spanish, modern Hebrew, French, Latin, ancient Hebrew, and Koine Greek, I have spent most of my time lately focusing on Spanish. I think I'll plan to return to French this weekend.

30 Days of Productivity

Day 14: What is a realization that you think helped you grow or change as a person?

When I was in college, I realized that time was not an object to be played with. It could be spent, it could be lost, and once it was gone, it was gone. Every moment invites me to make a choice, and every choice involves loss. I have to be intentional about pursuing the life I want, and I can't afford to waste time diminishing myself through illness, addictions, or anything else. Instead, I want to build myself.

Is that existential enough for you? 😉

Pisces Compatibility

PISCES + ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) Aries is the zodiac's first sign, Pisces its last. You're the Alpha and the Omega, the dawn and the sunset. You're as far apart and as close together as two signs can get. Although your differences are vast, you also have a broad expanse of material from which to fashion your relationship. Your polar positions can actually make you a great match. Aries loves to be adored and spoiled, and generous Pisces will give everything in the name of love. In Pisces' worshipful gaze, Aries feels brilliant and boundless, and his insecurities melt away. This is important for the sensitive Ram, whose "wounded soldier" archetype is healed by the Pisces nurse. In this relationship, Aries is free to follow his natural hunting instincts; Pisces prepares a banquet from his conquests. The danger: You both have vivid imaginations, but with two dreamers at the helm of this romance, the ship can veer off course. Aries is a take-charge leader, but needs a strong second mate. Bravado and confidence don't come easy to insecure Pisces, who falls into feigned helplessness under duress. Moody spells are common for your signs, and digging yourselves out of emotional ditches can be a challenge. You'll need a council of advisors to help you manage aspects of daily life—accountants, lawyers, coaches, therapists. Aries can be naturally aggressive, where Pisces is passive or passive-aggressive. You'll need to adapt your communication styles in order to be heard.

PISCES + TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20) ♥♥♥♥ This is a lovely match of two pleasure-driven sensualists. Taurus is ruled by beauty planet Venus, and Pisces is governed by enchanting Neptune. You both love gourmet food, wine and culture, and you make a creative couple with sophisticated flair. You never run out of things to discuss, whether it's the latest New Yorker piece, art theory, or the obscure band both of you love. In the bedroom, the lusty Bull is happy to enact any fantasy that Pisces' boundless imagination conjures—and there will be many. Domestic bliss is assured, and your fussy decorating styles will match perfectly, much to your snobbish delight. For the long term, you'll need to regulate your energy with each other, or you can lapse into a master-and-servant dynamic. Passive-aggressive Pisces must become more assertive, and forceful Taurus should relax his domineering ways. At times, Pisces' secretive spells can cause fissures in the foundation, arousing suspicion in possessive Taurus. Even if what Pisces is hiding is inconsequential, the act itself destabilizes the relationship. Emotional manipulation infuriates the Bull, who prefers everything above board, and hates to be blindsided. However, Pisces can't always verbalize his complex feelings as quickly as Taurus demands. Too much forcefulness can intimidate the gentle Fish, sending him swimming into unreachable depths.

PISCES + GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20) You're both dual signs: Gemini is the Twins, and Pisces is symbolized by two Fish swimming in opposite directions. You're pop psychology's poster children for commitment-phobia. Are you in or are you out? It depends on the day, the mood, the cosmic alignment. Obviously, this is no way to run a relationship—but wait. Here's a golden chance to peer into love's looking glass and see your own shadowy Id mirrored back. Yes, your psyches and hang-ups are as bizarre as Alice's rabbit-hole tumble into Wonderland. Pisces, you really can be as needy, emotionally exhausting and manipulative as Gemini says. Gemini, you are indeed capable of being a double-talking, evasive ice-tyrant with a heart like polished marble. And…so what? If you can actually own your dark sides—which we all have—you're also capable of spreading tremendous light. You must negotiate your differences with transparent honesty, though. Pisces is an emotional Water sign; Gemini is an intellectual Air sign. Unless you balance the proportions, Gemini drowns in Pisces' undertow and the zodiac's Mermaid suffocates from breathing too much oxygen. Gemini must strive to connect emotionally, and Pisces will need to lighten up. Perennial dissatisfaction is also a killer. Don't say you want something, then refuse to be happy when your partner provides it. Gratitude is an intimate act: it requires you to acknowledge that your partner can reach you, a vulnerable place. Two words to save your relationship: "Thank you" and "You're right."

PISCES + CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22) ♥♥♥♥ You're a pair of softies underneath it all, even if the world sees a hard Crab shell or a tough, scaly Fish. Alone with each other, your compatible Water signs are as tender as can be. You're both compassionate and nurturing, soothing each other with sustenance and sensitivity. There's nothing a stick of butter, cookies made from scratch, or a nice after-dinner cordial by the fire can't solve. Romantic and sensual, you love to pipe classical music through the sound system, light the candelabras and whip up a gourmet feast side-by-side. Hours of kissing and foreplay will follow. Though your relationship is a refuge, it can also become a fishbowl that limits your growth. You absorb each other's fluctuating moods like a sponge, so get out of the aquarium-for-two. With your refined sensibilities, you're excellent patrons of the arts, so head to museums, gallery openings, concerts, and dance performances. Fling open your doors for dinner parties that toast an artistic friend, an esteemed poet, or a relative's good news. This satisfies your nurturing instincts, and invites new energy into your space. You must both learn when to let go of grudges, since you can be passive-aggressive and play the victim when your feelings are hurt. Slammed doors, sulking and brooding must stop. Don't excuse bad behavior with psychobabble, either (e.g., "When you said that, it reminded me of how my mother couldn't love"). Grow up, will you? If you've been cruel, simply say "I'm sorry" and offer a long hug. The power of touch can heal anything between you, too.

PISCES + LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22) Your signs are very different, but you can eventually gel into a lasting relationship. Pisces is a flowy, sensitive Water sign who needs a decisive mate. Confident Leo, a Fire sign, is a natural leader, eager to rule the relationship. Because Pisces takes longer to articulate his needs, Leo could mistakenly assume he's got the upper hand, and that Pisces is content to follow. Not so fast. In your own ways, you both wear your hearts on your sleeve, but you need to tune into each other's sensitive spots. You're incredibly romantic, and the tender passion between you is great in the beginning. However, you may hit a dry spell when it's time to get truly intimate.

Secretive Pisces feels so vulnerable when his soul is exposed, and may lash out at Leo in an unconscious reaction to the Lion's strength—for example, criticizing Leo's appearance, weight or intelligence. These cruel barbs are actually just a projection of Pisces' own self-doubt, but they plunge a thorn in the Lion's paw no less. Pisces must work through the tedious knots of his insecurities, which lay deep in his psyche. Leo is a powerhouse who can run the show with his eyes closed, but he'll do best to step aside and give the Fish his chance to shine. Shy Pisces is a true creative force, but his brilliant imagination and keen intuition can be eclipsed by showy Leo. Work through this. Luxury is a weakness for your signs, and you love to indulge. You may need to take courses on money management together, or team up to make a fortune so you never have to worry about it.

PISCES + VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) ♥♥♥♥ Virgo and Pisces are two of the most powerful healers in the zodiac. Virgo is an Earth sign, clinical and data-driven, always there with a practical answer and a helping hand. Water-sign Pisces has emotional compassion, the ability to empathize and absorb other people's pain. You're opposite signs: Virgo is the doctor; Pisces is the nurse. You can teach each other a lot, doing much good on the planet along the way. Virgo is the zodiac's giver, performing acts of selfless service (Mother Theresa is a Virgo). However, it's hard for Virgo to receive, since he views "neediness" as a weakness in himself. Enter Pisces, ruler of the zodiac's receptive twelfth house. The Fish knows how to surrender boundaries and allow people's energy to flow in. Pisces teaches Virgo that accepting love is a generous and selfless act. It opens the door for others to be their greatest selves, to discover their power through contributing.

At times, Pisces' emotional nature can overwhelm Virgo, leaving him ungrounded. You both need doses of solitude to reconnect with your souls. Writing, playing music (especially classical compositions or Gregorian chants), painting and creativity is healing to you both. This relationship also brings out your spiritual sides. Meditation, yoga and metaphysical study can open up great psychic channels. These practices also prevent unhealthy addictions, which your easily-stressed signs may adopt as a means of self-medicating. Watch out for secretive tendencies, which you both have as a result of perfectionism and insecurity. Communicate openly, or air your "shameful" skeletons to a confidante—otherwise, you'll beat yourselves up unnecessarily, causing distance in the relationship.

PISCES + LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22) Drifting into a dappled dreamscape of your own imagination, your poetic souls entwine against astrological odds. Libra is an Air sign and Pisces is a Water sign; together you can stir a gentle sea breeze or drown in your own sexual tsunami. But oh, the romance is worth it. Like any good bodice-ripper, there's passion, intrigue and mystique to spice up this storyline. You can get lost for days in a decadent meal, a gorgeous sonata, each other's luminous eyes. While the cynics gag, they secretly envy your enchanted, oxytocin-addled bliss. Living in a fantasy is fun for your signs, and gratification eclipses all boundaries and structures. Another Sancerre, an hour less sleep—it can all be justified in the name of pleasure. It's when reality steps in that things get hairy. After waking past noon in your umpteenth limb-and-linen tangle, you remember that pesky paycheck, your stuffed Inbox, the unopened mail. Oops. Hung over and wholly unequipped to deal with the overwhelm, you lash out at each other. Without outside contact and obligations to anchor you, you can both descend into bouts of moodiness, indulgence and even depression. Balance—the Libra catchphrase—must be practiced early on.

PISCES + SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21) ♥♥♥♥ You're both "spiritual beings having a human experience," Finding an equally sensitive, divinely connected soulmate feels like coming home. Scorpio and Pisces are compatible artistes who love music, drama and romance. Like a lighthouse for two ships adrift on the emotional high seas, your relationship is an anchor and a haven. However, it's not immune to the turbulence caused by your secretive, Water sign natures. Emotional withdrawal is a self-protective act you've both honed over the years, but this tactic backfires when used against each other. The trick is learning to catch a bad mood when it starts, then processing the feelings instead of lashing out. Once the righteous anger and wounded egos kick in, you're like two runaway trains waging a war of domination and submission. Scorpio control tussles with Pisces guilt, Scorpio withholding wrestles Pisces evasion, and so on. Yet, you both want the same thing: a partner who inspires absolute, unshakeable trust with a money-back guarantee. What you need to learn is how to give it before you get it. To adapt the saying, be the change you want to see in your partner. It will keep you together for lifetimes.

PISCES + SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21) What happens when the most sensitive, tender-hearted sign (Pisces) links up with the most insensitive, tactless sign (Sagittarius)? Disaster, unless you handle each other with extreme care. Romantic Pisces is a Water sign who craves deep emotional bonding, while independent Sag is a Fire sign who feels smothered by too much of the touchy-feelies. You'll need to balance your most distinctive traits and parcel them out in measured doses. Your communication styles don't work together naturally either. Sagittarius is honest to a fault, dishing the unvarnished truth and heavy-handed advice (usually unsolicited), then whistling while Pisces weeps. Indirect Pisces would rather flee to Katmandu than face conflict, but standing up to Sagittarius requires it. Pisces is prone to passive-aggressive tactics; yet, subtle cues and hints will sail right over Sag's head, while the Archer's arrow of truth spears the Fish's heart. What do you have in common? You're both skittish about commitment—namely, the terrifying idea of being "trapped." Since Pisces rules fantasy and Sagittarius rules adventure, you can neatly escape the daily drudge together—at least until reality comes crashing down. Still, life is always tinged with magic when you're together, and the bedroom remains an enchanting space of divine communion for you.

PISCES + CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19) On the surface, you might seem like an odd match—imagine a Harvard MBA in Armani dating a paint-splattered artist in Oshkosh. Yet, your signs pair well, even if you don't want to admit it. With classic good looks and a dutiful nature, Capricorn fits neatly into the system. Pisces is a flowy Fish who excels at playing the the artsy rebel, the indie darling, the adorable mess. By comparison, Capricorn seems structured and regimented—but appearances deceive. While Pisces may delight in coloring outside the neat lines Capricorn draws, the real surprise is that Capricorn is the bigger freak behind closed doors. Capricorn has a dominant, even cruel streak that can play out in the bedroom (not that submissive Pisces doth protest). Leather, whips and kinky fun—it's all fair game. You both love to find lesser-known wine, music, and art, a pride yourself on having cultivated tastes. Together, you can traverse the tony uptown spaces to the lowbrow dives, discovering cultural jewels wherever you go. Your diverse strengths could make you great business partners, too. Open a gallery, with Pisces as curator and Capricorn as financial backer.

PISCES + AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18) Old and new come together in an interesting combination. Pisces is an ancient velvet boudoir with dripping candles and fainting couches; Aquarius is a modern, steel-and-glass construction heated by solar panel. Yet, this strange match can work if it's built around a shared cause or passion. You're both die-hard humanitarians, and if you share a common vision, you'll stay together for life. Pisces is a Water sign, more emotional and complex in nature than Aquarius. Contrary to myth, Aquarius is an Air sign (not Water), though it's symbolized by the water-bearer holding an urn. The lighter Aquarian touch lifts Pisces out of the murky, depressive swamp, while enchanting Pisces adds tassels and trim to Aquarius' cold, clinical reality. You both morbidly fear being trapped in a boring, conventional commitment. Since you can never really figure each other out, the attraction stays strong. A little mystery will keep you fascinated, though too much (ahem, Pisces) will make the relationship way too much work for Aquarius.

PISCES + PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20) You love each other; you love each other not. Pisces is denoted by two fish swimming in opposite directions—one toward security, the other to freedom. Such tender bait is a fellow Fish who's equal parts commitment-phobe and serial monogamist! As partners in paradox, you'll play nursemaid, Shiatsu-ist, and sous chef to one another, doting until it hurts. Then, of course, comes the Great Escape—intimacy overload strikes, but you feel too "guilty" to ask for a night off from gazing into each other's eyes as some angsty singer-songwriter pipes through the iPod. Instead, you fly into a passive-aggressive panic, turning on each other vis a vis a good self-flogging. "It's not you, it's me," you call over your shoulder as the door shuts behind you (read: "I'm too gutless to demand better foreplay"). "I'm such an awful person—you deserve better," Pisces laments (translation: "You suck"). The real problem isn't your chemistry, it's that you're both so damn indirect. Communication is the 101 cornerstone of a lasting relationship, and if you keep walking on eggshells, you'll end up resentful, depressed (anger turned inward) or eventually exploding with rage. With the right prescriptions, a good therapist and maybe a couples' karate class (think: the socially-sanctioned chop to his midsection that you've been dying to deliver), you can swim together like happy little minnows forever.

Meditating on Relaxing Music Can Improve Quality of Life

Music can help relax your body and mind. It will help you get better sleep, reduce feelings of depression and stress as well as improve your heart health and boost your memory. Music can also aid in relaxation after an operation or stressful experience, and also enhance your meditation practices. Research has demonstrated that mindfulness meditation is improved by music. In addition, this kind of meditation is focused on being aware of the present moment. It's also been found to lower the chance of developing major depression. This kind of meditation has similar effects to yoga. It is a good option for those wanting to reap the benefits of both of these therapies. The research has also revealed that listening to relaxing music prior to bed can enhance the quality of your sleep. It can be beneficial for elderly people suffering with sleep disorders, such as insomnia and fatigue. They were able to recuperate faster as a result. Additionally, this research has shown how relaxing classical music can assist people to get a better sleep. Music is also a method for pain management. According to Harvard University researchers, music can reduce anxiety before and after surgery. Music can be beneficial but it's important to select the appropriate music. Some tips to keep in mind are choosing the right music , and choosing the appropriate frequency. Don't listen to music that can be a nuisance. If you can, try an Gregorian Chant, which will assist you in achieving the most effective results from your meditation. The effect of music on brain function has been shown in both passive and active participants. Music can have the same effect on the brain , just like drugs do. For instance, music can increase alpha brainwaves that are linked to deep sleep states. If you are listening to the wrong kind of music, the effects of meditation can go to the opposite direction. Meditation is an effective tool that can help you reduce anxiety, stress and depression-related symptoms. Listening to relaxing classical music will help you achieve your goals. It's a low-cost remedy that can provide you with a number of benefits. Different cultures have a variety of different forms of meditation. Meditation can be a useful method of reducing stress, improving mood, and even cutting down the risk of having the development of diabetes and stroke. Music that is relaxing can provide many other benefits, including reduced pain and anxiety as well as a decreased chance of developing depression.

One study has found that music may improve cognitive function of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Music can also reduce stress, depression, and anxiety in those suffering from cardiovascular diseases. A different study has shown that a daily dose classical music can help improve blood pressure and heart rate. A study has found that music has positively impacted well-being for people of various backgrounds. Video by YouTube

Brief History of Choral Music

The Beginnings – During the latter part of the medieval period, a style of vocal music called organum evolved out of Gregorian chant. With multiple, independent parts, this was arguably the first example of polyphonic vocal music in Europe, laying the groundwork for the choral music of the Renaissance era. Two kinds of choral composition were prominent during this time: the motet, a kind of Latin religious work; and the mass, another kind of sacred composition based specifically on settings of Liturgy – both were largely written for an a cappella ensemble.

Baroque Period – Increased interaction between vocalists and instrumentalists grew as the late Renaissance into the early Baroque period. Baroque music forms a major portion of the “classical music” canon, and is now widely studied, performed, and listened to. One of the popular key composers of the Baroque era includes J. S. Bach. His composition performed by ChorSymphonica can be viewed here.

Classical Works – Composers became increasingly preoccupied with the potential of instrumental and symphonic music during the Classical period, but choral works were never far from the surface. Mozart also composed a number of fine sacred choral works, especially masses, his patron being an archbishop. The Coronation Mass and Great Mass are widely thought to be among the highlights of his oeuvre, yet the most highly-regarded arguably his Requiem Mass.

Romance – As the influence of the church began to wane during the 19th century, composers adapted pre-existing forms for more secular ends. Beethoven also used choral texture to add extra weight to his secular compositions, perhaps most famously in his Ninth Symphony. Another fine example of Beethoven’s choral writing can be seen in the cantata Calm Sea and a Prosperous Voyage.

Importance of choral music

Research has shown for some time that singing in a choir has tremendous benefits for physical and mental well being, leading some to campaign for it to be prescribed as a treatment for medical conditions. Choral music brings out the hearts and souls in perfect harmony which is the kind of emblem what we need in today’s world. Let’s go through the importance of choral music in our lives.

1 .Strengthen feeling of togetherness

Humans are wired for rhythmic togetherness; from choral singers, musicians, and dancers, the science is coming in that we bond best when we are making music with each other. Research led by psychologist Nick Stewart of Bath University indicates that people who participate in a choir enjoy a greater feeling of togetherness and being part of a collective endeavour than others involved in different social activities.

2 .Reduce stress levels and depression

For the Singers – Singers develop breathing techniques to create phrasing and musical expression. This has many physical benefits like singing increases blood flow, improves sleep, boosts your immune system, releases chemicals like endorphins, dopamine and oxytocin, which affect our moods and happiness. And it also transports the singer to another level, to a place where they no longer think about their day-to-day worries.

For the Audience – Watching a concert also leads to reduced negative mood states (afraid, tense, confused, sad, anxious and stressed) and increased positive mood states (relaxed and connected).

3. Benefits of choir at schools

Singing is very important for children; an inclusive activity whereby all children can be equal and connected. Singing helps children’s memories. Practising musical patterns and rhythms helps form neurological pathways, with huge implications for children’s learning.

4. Improves discipline and teamwork

Choirs truly know what teamwork means. Preparing for concerts not only requires the discipline of attending weekly rehearsals, but it also develops the skills of listening, concentration, teamwork and developing confidence. Choirs bring people together with a sense of purpose.

5.Bridges social gaps

Choral groups and choral singers are diverse in the broadest sense: involving people from every region of all ages, in numerous musical styles from classical to gospel. Many choristers testified to the degree to which their choral singing made them more aware of other people’s life experiences, helping them to bridge social gaps.

9 Important Questions to Ask When Buying a Botaniko Weston Condo

Have you been thinking about buying a condo? Perhaps the condo is in a promising neighborhood, and you want to buy before prices start to rise. Or perhaps you’re tired of not being able to paint the walls of your apartment, and you’re ready to take the next step towards home ownership. Or, maybe you’re just ready to downsize your home. Whatever the reason, many people young and old very much enjoy condo living at Botaniko Weston.

You often get enjoy access to resort-style amenities Bonaventure Golf Course and recreational area, as well as a security team and the opportunity to own a home without having to worry about all the caretaking responsibilities. Although there are pros and cons of buying a condo, it’s not quite the same process as buying a house. There are important things to consider, and it’s important that you go in knowing the right questions to ask.

1. Is the building noisy or quiet at the new construction homes in Weston Fl? If you’re typically in bed by 8 p.m. you might be thrilled about strict limits on when people can use the pool or play music, but if you’re someone who stays up late you might prefer a building with a more relaxed policy. And if you’re hoping to practice the electric guitar or your Gregorian chanting, you’ll want to review the condo building’s noise ordinance and possibly even drive by the condo building at night to check the scene. Various government agencies also map noise complaints so you can tell if your building is particularly noisy or not, according to the article of 11 practical questions to ask before buying a condo.

2. What are the monthly HOA dues and what's covered?

When you own a condo, you will be required to pay a monthly Home Owner Association (HOA) dues. These monthly fees can vary from one development to another and just like property taxes, they always go up over time. You'll want to ask what you are getting and usually, items like landscaping, maintenance, and elevators will be covered. It's a good idea to ask how much the dues usually go up each year, according to the article of 9 Critical Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.

3. What does the insurance cover at luxury homes in Weston Fl?

Make sure you get a copy of the condo association’s insurance policy. Find out exactly what is covered, including the cost to bring the building up to code. Also make sure the estimates to rebuild are accurate, and not minimized or outdated. If the policy is confusing, it might be worthwhile to bring a copy to your own insurance agent so you can go over it together. It’s also important to check if their policy will cover your personal belongings if the building catches fire. If it doesn’t, you’ll want to consider taking out a policy on your own, according to the article of 9 Important Questions to Ask When Buying a Condo.

4. Does the condo come with designated parking or any parking for that matter?

Never assume that the condo comes with an allocated parking spot. Ask! Sometimes on the online listing it will list the number of the parking spots if they go with the condo. If you need more than one parking space, ask if you can lease a second spot. In some condominiums, it might be a first come, first served set up and won't have enough parking spaces for everyone, according to the article of 9 Critical Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.

5. Is there any current litigation?

When purchasing a condominium, you want to avoid ending up with one that is embroiled in some expensive, drawn-out litigation. Then most common of which is where the Home Owners Association is suing the builder. Most new construction condos come with a 10-year builders’ warranty and warranties are only as good as the willingness of the builder to honor that warranty. Asking about any current or upcoming litigation is critical when buying a condo. Also, it's good to ask about any previous litigation and see if the issues were addressed properly, according to the article of 9 Critical Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.

6. What are the rules?

Does this community allow pets? Can you rent out your unit if you need to? Go over the community rules line by line. Make sure the condo doesn’t have rules that you simply can’t live with, according to the article of 9 Critical Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.

7. Who fixes what?

You are going to want to know exactly what you are responsible for regarding maintenance expenses. In other words, are you the one who will pay for repair and maintenance or is that the condo associations responsibility, according to the article of Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo?

8. Are there any special assessments coming up?

A special assessment is typically a one-time fee that will cover a significant expenditure needed in the neighborhood. Sometimes rather than taking it out of the reserve fund a special assessment will be made where it becomes a short-term expenditure. If you are considering buying into the neighborhood, you will want to have this information for budgeting purposes. This is a question you want to ask before purchasing a condo not when you have already purchased and found yourself with a massive unexpected bill, according to the article of Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.

9. When was the last time a RESERVE Study was done?

How does a Home Owners Association know if they have sufficient cash on hand to be able to take care of unexpected repairs plus have enough to address big known repairs down the road? Well they hire an independent company to conduct what is known as a Reserve Study. The company goes over audits the condo building and property with a fine-tooth comb and then writes up a large report. The Reserve Study report will come back with a list of all the repairs that need to be addressed NOW, according to the article of Questions To Ask When Buying A Condo.
