China has cheaper labor, almost no EPA constraints, far cheaper electric power with their new Dam, etc.

I am confident that “Drill Baby Drill” (aka reducing the price of oil, aka reducing everything that is transported) will directly impact the cost of goods thus increasing tenants and buyers purchasing power.

That's what I did.I'm not saying don't go for condos, but really do your due diligence on the HOA to make sure they are in decent shape so you don't get hit with bills later on. 

Most properties are landscaped with water conservation in mind and therefore you don't have the expenses or hassle of maintaining large lawns, high water bills, large tree maintenance, etc.

I have spoken with the realtor at length and gotten copies of utilities bills, internet expenses, trash fees, etc. so I have reason to believe most of these are pretty accurate, but again, would like some feedback from the community on what i'm missing and what else i should be considering.

Each unit is individually metered for power and water. 

Whoever gave this person “women of the year award” should be sued for doing zero due diligence on this person I agree, please report that organization which is POWER magazine

@Bill Hampton lists some good ideas. 

It's legal for passive investors to have voting rights and power in the deal.
