Yes they usually have HOAs and that could be an advantage to keep property values up.

@Andres Felipe Alba Hernandez Yes, neighborhood covenants can sometimes restrict certain activities, including short-term rentals (STRs) or renting out parts of a home, even in areas without a Homeowners Association (HOA).

Most duplex properties are not in HOAs and usually in a renters street; lawns don't necessarily look great.  

My buy box is C+/B- 2000 sq ft or better, no HOA, no Pool, 2.5 bathrooms or better and plenty of parking. 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

The high HOA fee is already a factor, so ensure you’re comfortable with the overall carrying costs.Focus on the Land Value: Since the lot has development potential, you’re looking at this as a long-term investment.

And the condo debacle in FL will be churning for quite a while as these rogue HOAs try to get realistic with deferred maintenance, new requirements, and freedom for people to use as they need to afford them.One thing to consider would be to 1031 all of them in a consolidation exchange.

I own an HOA management company in Hoboken and it's led me down this thinking-path as well.

Your HOA also will have to unless they are organized as a 501c3 which most are not.
