It's possible that the configuration of the lots makes it difficult or undesirable to build what the HOA requires on those lots -- or is difficult to adhere to HOA covenants while still adhering to zoning rules. 

In fact, not even sure it makes sense here...For example, 1 bed/1bath is a very limited market to work with which means you can have a struggle trying to move it forward and  the hoa alone  is super high, just these 2 factors alone are undesirable. 

It isn't easy to find extra money for a down payment, at this point and so it kind of leaves us in an undesireable spot to be in.
