I have never owned property in an HOA let alone had the ability to control the association.

Thank you,Rami Risk/reward, it’s one of the only areas in region you can get a really good deal vs peak prices, but there’s obviously the risk it doesn’t come back or that it gets worse, I’m slightly risk adverse & crime is something that I have no control over, so I’d probably not be a buyer there but the prices certainly are interesting, if I was included to invest in a down home in dc I’d probably look more Michigan park/riggs park area.
