I can't speak about if HOA fees affect home prices, so much as I can mention that some buyers specifically look for no-HOA properties, or must factor in the HOA fee when deciding what monthly mortgage payment they can afford.If a buyer's finances are tight enough that the HOA fees make them question if they can afford the property, then they're probably not the right buyers.Some of my buyer clients just want to be in xyz neighborhood, and the HOA fee is just one of those things they know comes with the territory.I serve Pinehurst, NC, which is internationally known as a mecca for Golf enthusiasts. 

@Roy Gottesdiener - I am not familiar with the rental market with Kings Mountain specifically, but there is grow happening in that area with the building of the Catawba Two Kings Casino. 

Vegas is a larger market with more new construction, they are getting more sports teams, and trying to diversify the economy past casinos. 

🌟 Hello Friends and Fellow Real Estate Enthusiasts!

The Casino was packed but not many people shopping around the town or at the beach.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for essential resources, such as websites, books, or forums, that have been invaluable to your own real estate investing journey.Furthermore, if you have referrals for trusted professionals in the DC metro area, such as contractors or property managers, I would be immensely grateful.If you're an experienced investor in this region and open to collaborating with an enthusiastic newcomer, I would love to connect and explore potential partnerships.Thank you for your support and advice.

Anyway, nobody checks back in after their enthusiastically shared idea fails, but I would wager this will. 

I own 4 acres right next to the Graton Casino  that could be my next project put in about 100 apartments and call it a day.. won't have great returns 5 to 6% but I will get them and not have all the stress and drama like what your going through...
