Hello,I checked the Master Deed at Jamaica Plain Cohousing for the right of first refusal language. We do have language against using the ROFR for discriminatory purposes. There's also language specifically mentioning Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their requirements, as well as provisions allowing foreclosure proceedings to trump the ROFR.
In any event, we had no problems with respect to ROFR in obtaining mortgages for our 2005 move-in, nor have had any such problems for our four resales since then, one of which took place as late as this year.

And we do have a right of first refusal in our documents. Our Master Deed includes language (see below) which means that the right of first refusal does not apply in the case of a foreclosure, etc. I don't know if that makes banks more comfortable. The entire Master Deed is at our web site, for anyone who wants to peruse it. In addition, we have language which says "1. the right to purchase is exercisable only as a means of insuring owner-occupancy of the Unit that is being sold, or for some other valid purpose that serves the best interest of the Association and its members;" plus "Moreover, such right shall not be exercised so as to restrict alienation, conveyance, sale, leasing, purchase, ownership or occupancy of units because of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age or sexual preference." Also, we have the right to assign our right to purchase, so in practice we would most likely have someone on our waiting list purchase the unit as opposed to the Association doing so. My interpretation of our current policy does not allow a bidding war once the owner has agreed on a price and conditions. There are those who either disagree or think it should be changed, saying that that's not how real estate deals work. I include our current policy below, as well. <snip>
