Co-op and condo boards have different ways of obtaining money. Co-op boards can seek an underlying mortgage from a lending institution without shareholder approval if it's for preserving the building's structural integrity. Condo boards need approval from a majority of unit-owners, usually through a two-thirds vote, to secure a loan larger than $50,000.
