It's a crap shoot either way - the difference between a home owner and a condo board being confronted by big problems is that the home owner gets to ignore the problem and see if the next buyer notices.
It's like buying a car - you want the condo/house that's been maintained constantly and "done right". I've been in several houses listed for sale that needed thousands of dollars in fixes (ie the one that drained water from the patio slab back into the basement) but zero mention of it from the selling agent.

At least with my house I have the option of doing the work myself and saving $40k.
