In the spirit of order of operations, might be helpful to break down in this fashion: 1) With your 401(k), do you have pre-tax money and post-tax Roth funds?

I have an operate account for my cabin that I pay for as a backup.

Has anyone been in a situation where they acquired a condo and operated it as an STR when the HOA did not make the exclusion in their CC&Rs, but then faced resistance from the HOA?

Operator positions themselves as the owner of the Property Management company when they in fact, are not.

You don't have to actually sleep there every night to comply.

Having someone who has owned and operated a similar asset is worth its weight in gold. 

If she does not comply, file for eviction. 

I’m continuing to put out plenty of offers on various properties and exploring different approaches to see what gains traction.For this one, I’m considering proposing a rent-to-own/deal finance contract with strict contingencies—something like requiring monthly photo proof of bank loan payment, with the understanding that failure to comply would result in a loss of equity of the seller.

@Kayla Givens Do you own the houses where you operate the SL homes?

Yes, you can ultimately own a property with little/nothing out of pocket when you're done - but when you reposition with today's rates even moderately leveraged stabilized assets can be hard to find cashflow with debt service and a realistic operating expense load.
