To be on the HOA board, especially in the leadership position, you have to be willing to do the accounting, oversee the maintenance staff, deal with taxes and police and fire inspectors, listen to homeowners' endless complaints and a hundred other things.

However, Portsmouth has such a crappy reputation and schools along with an extremely unpopular mayor and city leadership.

Appreciate your leadership.

Massive layoffs combined with population loss, could be a problem for everyone.On top of a global pandemic, it appears we will have a polarizing presidential election and a change in leadership would be a seismic shift in business policy.

There might be some confused people in the town's leadership that don't know what they are doing.

While a team is important, they won't do all the work/research for you.Your success in real estate is dependent on your leadership, research and ability to guide your team.With that said - there are a couple of CPA's on this message board who work with clients remotely - feel free to reach out to a couple and choose the one you feel most connected with.

That is to say, they had partners who put in the money while the investor provided the expertise and project leadership to make the deal happen and follow thru to completion.Hope that helps...

As Russel hinted at when mentioning his friend Marc, FHA approval means a broader pool of potential buyers, which means more people to bid, more significant bidding wars, etc, which will tend to drive values up (the inverse is also true, nothing kills values in a condo development faster than NO ONE being able to get ANY vanilla mortgage on it, which happens when the HOA leadership totally drops the ball). 

Finding out the requirements is very important, but rezoning is both an art and a science and it has much to do with ordinance build requirements, quality of the design, ultimate land use, local priorities of land use, adherence to existing design requirements and subtleties of the community leadership preferences.

Another example of the class act that you are and the servant leadership of REI Nation.I completely agree with Chris's take regarding what really defines a turnkey company.
