While it can feel like a hassle, these inspections help prevent bigger (and costlier) problems down the line.

Buying in a quality area and being thorough with your tenant screening are the best preventative measures you can take to avoid that situation from arising.

Maybe they would/could take it upon themselves to pay for the repairs to the roof to salvage your unit and prevent further damage then they would go after the HOA to recoup costs.

Naturally your property must sell before you can take title to the new one, but nothing prevents you from getting it under contract and make the process as smooth as possible.  

Any additional mail costs $.50-$.76 depending on the size... so to prevent you from having hundreds of $.50 charges on your credit card, the default "reload" is $50 (you can set this to whatever you like in the app).Hope this helps....

Where it gets interesting is that the house has 5 mailing addresses associated with it and the fire prevention bureau has on their records it is also a 5- unit house, and I am billed as such upon annual renewals/inspections.

If the tenants are the issue, they can make it very difficult to show the property and this can create a lot of issues for you during this time.It will also prevent you from selling your home for maximum market value as only few people will want to deal with holdover tenants.

It can be a normal problem but you can prevent it with some certain measures.

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

What prevents them from doing that?
