Yeah that’s the only reason I don’t want a condo esp high rise condo. I don’t to get hit with special assessments out of left field. I hear if that a lot.

As someone that's been involved in both ownership of a home, townhome, and condo from afar I'll tell there's A LOT more work in upkeep on your end for anything but a condo. Furthermore, the only reason condo dues aren't cheap is because they building is maintained in essentially SAME condition. To maintain a home or townhome of the same size individually is A LOT more money. A LOT more.

The beauty of a condo for a vacation property, is you pay your dues and the exterior of the building is almost 100% set for you infititely. The interior...I mean that's fairly easy just appliances and maybe some occasional like plumbing or handy man stuff. Then whatever upgrades but that's with any properties.

Ultimately, a condo you can be a crappy owner as far as maintenance and likely nothing will likely. If you are a crappy owner in regards to upkeep on a beach house its going to fall apart on you in just 3-4 years.
