Here's my situation though: I have enough cash for a 25% downpayment/points/closing costs, but my mortgage broker is unwilling (or doesn't know to try) to count any rental income towards my DTI because I don't have two years of Schedule E's.

I checked with each one of them, confirmed that they would not mind, and have since then just removed the trash can from out front.It seems that the trash can being out front invited people who were looking for a place to dump their extra trash (or types of trash that the city is unwilling to collect). 

She is moved out, but is unwilling to pay rent for March, because she chose to move out before March 15th when the lease expired. 

If you are unwilling to supplement the condo until rents appreciate enough to provide positive cash flow then the decision is obvious. 

If she is unwilling to sell you the option, she didn’t want to sell to you anyway.That’s my thought anyway....

Agree with @Dan Mackin - you'll almost certainly owe the superlien amount which is equal to 6 months worth of dues.You may or may not owe all or a portion of the rest of the amount based on date of filing, etc.Be prepared to find the HOA board completely unwilling to negotiate. 

You need to do what their landlord is unwilling to do. 

If you're unwilling to pay her price, keep looking for that smoking deal. 

He said he was unwilling to move to some place by himself for a year (and we live in the Bay Area and everything around here is totally out of our range). 

Unless they find something major that the seller is unwilling to negotiate.
