While the prospect may seem daunting, careful planning and informed decision-making can pave the way for a successful investment.

Pavel I sent you a message with my contact info and what I am interested in. 

It would open up the possibility of adding a common pool to increase the value of the neighborhood.One benefit of this is the significant savings of creating a private, gravel road vs. a fully paved, town-maintainable road (about $100K less).

Install finishes, Second Coat on walls, Stain floor, Touch up moldings, landscaping, driveway paving, etc... 

Let's say the parking lot is paved and you're going to rent it out for an additional $40,000 per year.

I would device a 90 day plan in which you deliver some value to the park (paved roads, new sign, get rith of old stuff on the lawns or old, vacant homes).

The HOA documents list areas they are responsible for.Talk to a paving company and ask how much to repair the broken parts of the side walk. 

From the data I gathered from some agents there, it seems like rentability is not much impacted between Corolla  area (communities before the paved road ends like Whalehead commuity) and Swan/Carova beach.
