Also recognize that if there are more defaults in the association, again your buyer pool will be very low as investors typically do not like condos and most owner occupied borrowers do not have cash.IF I was buying that many units I would also have a third party engineering study done or ask the HOA when the last one was done.

Your city's planning department will have a form to fill out or other method to communicate with AT&T's Engineering Department.

Borrower currently goes with LENDER A, but LENDER A ends up with very high interest rate and fee.To do price match, I would like to ask whether I need to show LENDER A the lower rate & better fee from LENDER B's rate engine on their portal? 

@Alex KosleyI agree with the above comments to pay off 401k loans and the car loan and your $850,000 home being a large expense and obstacle.What other investors have told me is to reverse engineer and figure out when I want to quit/retire early from my W2 job (with an option to work on a contract part time basis) then determine what I need to do to as far increasing rental income, buying rental properties, decreasing expenses, etc.

I feel with my Engineering and MBA background, this is something that really suits my skill-set and something I can sink my teeth into.
