the majority of hoa's I've seen in JC are managed by one or many of the property's investors, so generally JC condo hoa's are investor-friendly and the good ones even re-write HOA rules to accommodate investors (or purposefully don't write-in anti-investor by-laws).

WE did the whole negotiation thing with the buyer and agreed to about a dozen items to fix including half a dozen small items like a missing light fixture globe, oven anti-tip bracket and stuff like that.

If there are cashflow returns they will be very small, and tenant laws are anti-landlord in California.  

It's hard to convey just how much the RSO (rent control board) is, pro-tenant and anti-lanlord, to out of state investers.We inherited a condo in a rent controlled area, and didn't know it was rent controlled.

Hi @Stephanie IrtoBeing fair and not predatory re: Rent to own or Lease w Option IMHO is the RTO operator charging market rent, selling at appraisal or a slight increase like 3% increase of appraisal, charging a modest option fee like 3% option fee for the opportunity to buy the property, and doing everything you can to assist the tenant buyer in being successful, including using a servicer for payments directly to owners' bank, insurance, and tax impound accounts, and referring TBer to a competent Credit Enhancement Coach to increase chances of getting mortgage home loan.Ammendments to Reg Z linkATR Ability to Repay linkExempt Transactions 1026 Section linkSummary of TILA RESPA Rule linkBelow is the DFA Housing Sections with a link to the DFA.Title VII—Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending ActSec. 9000. 

Until your home has been completely surrounded by anti-government protestors who have seized control of the part of the city you live in or seen tanks rolling down your street being pelted with Molotov cocktails by protestors, I understand it can be difficult to grasp just how quickly things can spin out of control.  

Dave Ramsey is anti-debt which is not the basis for scaling your real estate business.Dave Ramsey = Middle Class, work 40 years, hope your 401K is there when you retire getting taxed at 40%Robert Kiyosaki = Upper Class, the rich don't work for money, leverage debt, Savers are Suckers

I suggest a mold removal company if it's that serious and you can't do it yourself.If you do use a mold removal specialist, you could try to submit the bill to your insurance company.There are a number of anti-mold/mildew paint additives that you could treat the affect area with.

All less inflammatory or discriminatory.There also isn't anything here about prior rental references, that is key.Since you live in one o the units that gives you a huge leg up on not needing to defend your choice as much.

"...trolling involves starting arguments or upsetting people by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."
