The unit consists of two beds, one office and one bathroom.

Rufo, so you are violating the HOA rules so I don't think they would cover anything if it is the fault of your guests.This will eventually catch up with you and could result in some big fines so maybe think of selling this or converting to a LTR instead.

Many state fair housing laws cover properties or situations that are exempt under federal law.

I'm trying to get a mortgage, but it's entirely possible that the mortgage might not cover 100% of the price of the house.

I'll go with @Greg Scott line set metal cover idea and @Chris Seveney idea for painting the copper white.Thanks folks!  

But for large multi-family, that amount hardly covers your legal fees for one transaction, let alone down payment, due diligence costs, lender fees, other closing costs, etc.

So, often times even if 1 or 2 of the units in the building are not generating any rent, the remaining rents are still enough to pay for all of your property’s expenses and you don’t have to come out of pocket to cover them.

They have to go overkill crazy like this in order to cover their butts.....Once again, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.....

Verify credit, employment, etc for you. 6) I would definitely want noise (quiet hours), guests, and treatment of common areas covered. 7) We've used Rent Manager as it focuses more on the financials which I think is super important.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.
