Asphalt & concrete are considered permanent improvements, while dirt and gravel are not, and many easements prohibit permanent construction upon them. 

@Scott Hollister, thanks for the replyThe HOA has budgeted for new roof, pavement and landscaping, with each having their ''life expectancy'' budgeted - however things are easily subject to change, and I understand that.Unfortunately "craigslist housing for rent" in south florida is full of false posts and scams, I experienced this directly when searching for an apartment myself.

Lol I just keep it moving, but there are deals to be had just got to keep pounding the pavement and networking!

Everything related to asphalt has lost its mind ever since oil started going up, and it's never come back down.

They saw cut the asphalt/concrete area after using a camera to locate issue, fix it and patch the topping. $1500-2000.

I work 12 hour days normally and he is always blowing me up to "do this" or "read that" or "I'm going to start doing contract asphalt jobs!".

Are they predominately asphalt or concrete or are many crushed rock?

Many new home buyers in Denver are recent out of state transplants who often don’t realize or don’t care that many of the fancy new luxury condos in the whole NE side of town were recently built on top of former toxic waste sites, dumps, asphalt plants, slaughterhouses, refineries, smelter plants, and even a primitive raw sewage plant that still festers under a few inches of soil where the bike path now winds along the river (the section where riders gag uncontrollably from the lovely stench of hydrogen cyanide mixed with raw sewage and burning tar).

@Poe George yes this is definitely possible, PRIME EXAMPLE installing a tin roof over asphalt... that’s what folks in the country value.

My biggest concern is the HVAC systems, the roof will likely need replaced within a few years, and the asphalt parking lot likely needing to be redone.
