If they were totally rehabbed, there could be things failing that you don't see (i.e. hot water heater, air conditioning unit, roof, etc.).

@Ben NarroThis is a great idea Ben, I am active Duty Air Force and this would have been very useful my last couple moves.

There is a monthly meeting in Bel Air every month and you should check it out as I believe it will be helpful to you.  

Should I contact the mortgage company and let them know I'll be transferring the property or would that be more like waving a red-flag in the air?  

When you see them attempting to drop it off, run outside with only your underwear on, shooting a shotgun into the air. 

@Mindy JensenYes 10$ does sound cheap but we run an Air BnB out of the guest suite attached to our home..

The HOA doesn't pull money out of thin air.

Account Closed just spoke about that on the podcast which aired a couple of days ago, highly recommended.

The homes for that area are right in line with the normal homes in the Colorado area (still expensive) and then there is Van Aire (http://www.vanaireskyport.org/) which fought to stay open when DIA was built 25 years ago.
