They are all short term rentals so everybody is on their best behavior and we don't ever have to deal with that roommate who always leaves dishes in the sink!

I will refrain from commenting any further in response to such behavior and say only this, good luck to you on your potential deal, stick to the numbers that make sense and provide you positive cash flow, and get the best deal you can, hopefully the good info in this thread has or will help you to accomplish that goal.

Is there anything positive to be said by experienced Flippers about HOAs or even by people who are not profiting or have a vested interest in their behavior?

Aren't you glad you found out this about them before they moved in and started this kind of behavior.

I could deal with most of that but I wouldn't want a ton of dogs with behavior issues at the property.

What if I have a signed agreement with my friend/client prior to her going under contract with my broker.I can say that Im truly shocked and hurt by this behavior.

I hope I'm wrong for your sake, but after learning tenants and their behavior the last few years, I sadly don't think I am.

@Nat Chan You can't let their rude behavior keep you from evaluating all of your options.

May you never find yourself in a financial situation where this behavior begins to make sense.

So, I think a small bank like that would be much more careful to deal in an ethical manner, because word spreads quicker and it's impossible to stay anonymous.While we've certainly seen unethical behavior behind the curtains of large banks, I do believe that most people that work at banks in smaller capacities, want to do honest work and be helpful.
