Difficulty with Termites

Hello Everyone,

So I found a possible first deal.  The condo is in a perfect location, and it is going for a great price! From what is visible, it's a pretty simple fix EXCEPT for the termites.  When i went to see the property my realtor and I noticed some piles of dirt that lead into the lenai and then into the master bedroom, and piles of dirt in the second bedroom down the hall from the master.  A neighbor also confirmed that there was a termite issue while we were seeing the property.  We are checking to see what if anything the association would cover to fix the termite issue, and depending on how much damage is done to the structure what they would cover.  My question to everyone here is, have you dealt with termites in the past? If so, how difficult was it, how expensive was it, how long did it delay your project, is this something I should avoid?  Any and all advice would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!!
