This packet should have contained all the vital info. needed to determine the health of the HOA, as it should contain budgets, minutes, etc. 

We have to make sure we get an inspection, find out what's wrong with the property, see if it's economically feasible to rehab the property, ensure we are compliant with all local/state rules regarding REO property, register the property if applicable, ensure health and safety issues are addresssed (Toxic DDT Landfill?)

Better know who boarded up the place, the owner, the bank, planning & zoning, building regs, health department.....who?

She claims that she doesn't have to pay rent because the oven needs to be fixed.I thought that in CT, one could only withhold rent if there was a health and safety concern.

inherited tenant is threatening to sue due to mold causing daughters health issues.

Contact health dept and let them know eviction is pending and work to be completed once gone.

High humidity probably exacerbates the problem.The mold these units spew have caused health problems for my family and pets.

Zoning, health dept. permits, land restrictions, building permits to meet code (garages aren't the same as dwellings), etc.

I also have a wife and son at home, and while they weren't fond of me leaving at 6-7am and getting home at 8-10pm, they will certainly love the vacation we'll be able to take =D.All of that being said, I wouldn't line up that type of deal back to back to back as it would end up taking a toll on me, and persona/family time is important to one's mental health.

They are the "I wonder what they can offer on my house" crowd that's just curious what you can do.When people are really motivated - due to financial or health issue, job loss, inability to make payments, inheritance, etc., they will gladly invite you in.This is real estate.
