Quote from @Vicki Karpovich: Thank you for reviewing these options so clearly. 

You can really tell that on reviewing the comps with a good agent on the MLS.

I would post it here on BP and let people review it and provide some feedback.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

Investors buy in an HOA because properties are cheap, but then they quickly realize Nazis and busy-bodies run the HOA.You can try to build a coalition of owners and fight back against the charge, but it's unlikely to change.

Anything they don't provide I'd for sure get and review before due diligence is over 

The best way to get in tune with the local market is to review what recent cash sales have been in the same community as the subject property.

I don;t care who you are, your butt will be at the watering hole every single dayWhere do you go when you need info, help, reviews, knowledge, entertainment, and answers?

I just won my first tax sale property and if all goes well (AKA the judge reviews the property and approves everything) I will likely go down the tax sale rabbithole as the property I bought was pennies on the dollar (hopefully noone broke in and stole the copper plumbing lol)

Does anyone have any experience using Poplar Homes as a property manager in the Dayton, Ohio area? What is your experience? What level of management did you select? Would you recommend them?
