President of the HOA is making it sound like I need to get a permission slip for interior improvements, and I'll likely get denied. 

There are call-outs for specific hardship exceptions like inheritance and employment relocation, but approval for these exceptions are also at the discretion of the board.At the time my partner inherited the property, we were mislead by the then HOA Board President into thinking that given the manner in which he came to ownership and the fact that we live out of state, he would be granted the ability to hold the property as a rental into the future.

Hello @Rene Martinez Thanks for the welcome!

I'll pass your information along to the club President to get you on the list.

Additionally, I am the Broker and President of a full service property management company (commercial/residential/associations) and full service real estate brokerage(buy/sell/lease/investments).

Single-family homes shouldn't exceed 5% of their investments, not including their primary residence, says Jeff Sica, president of Sica Wealth Management in Morristown, N.J.For the moment, the supply of rental homes and the demand from renters are high.

We also found out that there is only one board member that actively responds to emails however that board member is not the president and cannot make any decisions alone.  

Since that area depends on immigration we are not sure that the current President will effect that.The primary Team members are typically Attornies/Lawyers, real estate Agents/Brokers, CPA's (or accountants you trust), Proprty Managers, General Contractors, and Handymen.  

We have some solid resources and team members in place, but we are looking for president connections and advice to make the project a great success.Does anybody have advice for managing a project remotely?
