Starting out - But What's up with HOA rental restrictions

[Julie Yard]

Hi,
I am just starting out in the investment market, I have looked at many investment properties but 9 times out of 10 I find that HOA will not allow new rentals in the area. I am located in Georgia where most decent investment properties are in sub-divisons with HOA.

How do others find their investment properties that do not have these restrictions or get round them, if at all possible.

Thanks
Julie
