But I now advise clients to report rental arbitrage on Schedule E.   

While reading is always great I wanted to share the advise that I got early on in trying to break into commercial (not that I've been successful breaking into that category but I like to think I'm on the way). 

The HOA/Board have already demonstrated their position, so I'm not sure why you think them hiring another atty to advise them will resolve this.

Hello, Bigger Pockets this is my first post so not sure if y'all would respond but I have a couple of questions on my first rental property I'm 24 with my own business that trying to build a REP. this may be a long po...

i have no idea, i don't know anything about you and couldn't possibly advise you on this.should you move to the southeast?  

So no one can give you the best advise without knowing what do you want.

Before consulting with property managers, I advise checking in with the HOA managing member to discuss this matter.

Some investors / flippers of very inexpensive vacant land do self-close, where the cost to close with a title company (most often requiring that you purchase title insurance, which comes with a minimum cost just for issuing a policy) approaches or exceeds the monetary value of the land. 

I think everyone would have a better sense to give advise if you break down what the current numbers look like.

It is only for suits involving monetary damage.
