This is not to say some deals don't require a bit more of a positive attitude and more calculated risk assessment.I'm delighted to hear about the philanthropic support that @Dan Mahoney mentioned.

Don’t cave.

Did I mention I am delightful to hang out with also.Thanks for all the information you guys give out for free I love it

Otherwise, you may have to go to court to get your grandfathering.However, I am not a lawyer and, while I know quite a bit about Colorado HOA law, I am certainly no expert.I can tell you, however, that as soon as you mention the word "lawsuit" to the rest of the board, they will look at their meager $5000 and probably cave very quickly. 

Not able to enter, foundation issues, exterior wall caving in, roof seperating from the home, walls and celings could fall in, floors caving in." $6,750 asking price but the only way I would take this is by negotiating this down several thousand if possible because this is a manufactured home, that can't even be listed because of its conditions.

For what it's worth, I had a similar issue where a slow roof leak allowed water to accumulate in the attic and - when the saturated insulation got heavy enough - a section of the ceiling caved in. 

I've lived in a cave since starting r/e in 2009 and notes in 2013, and receive a calling to share with the world. 

If the ditch is going to be more than 4 feet deep, let someone else do the job - trench cave-in is real and kills a fair number of people every year. 

But not in Greater Phx (which includes all the big cities like Phx, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Cave Creek, Carefree, Sun City, Ahwatukee and more).Our average cost of entry is $200K for single family dwellings. 

I also think Trump is a 1 term president and nothing would delight him more than to claim 4 years of a prospering economy.
