The HOA will never put a written rule on restrictions because it will decrease property value but they have enough power where if my parents were to fight it they may change ccr.

Her max recapture at 10 years would be 10/27.5 = 36.36% accumulated depreciation which is taxed at 25% maximum (this decreases at lower incomes) or 9.09% of the initial depreciable cost basis.

Just like in residential, if you find reasons to increase (or decrease) your offer during due diligrnce, then be prepared to negotiate with the seller.The main thing, however, is to FORGET ABOUT COMPS when it comes to commercial.  

Are they decreasing,flat,increasing year over year?

It is theoretically possible that a super majority of unit owners could purposefully force a large portion of owners into assessment default, decrease the market for their condo when they wants to sell and have no flexibility in the event that they can no longer afford to live in the association (think 2008).  

Also the prices have slowed their increase and some areas/price points have seen a decrease in the last year or two. 

With a opportunity value in the range of 10% equity in a rental actually decreases cash flow from the property itself.

Instead, we listed right around thanksgiving when buying activity significantly decreased.

I'm curious to get the perspective of more seasoned investors who have been around during interest rate increases and decreases before.

Plus the decreased cost of running a dryer and stove.
