My question is: If the HOA changes the bylaws to ban smoking (which they plan to vote on), and the lease held by the smoking tenant only specifies no smoking "within the unit," is there any legal recourse for the smoking tenant?

Unless you have a clause in the purchase of the entity that clearly makes you responsible for the entity from the day that you buy it(Indemnification) I wouldn't bother with the LLC.Good luck man. all the best!

(I am avoiding phone numbers and websites so this response doesn't get redacted)Good luck, Janet

@Drew Sygit @Gregory Schwartz From this HUD map it is 17 States/DC, and another site says 22 States which may reflect some more recent updates.

You could also engage the services of a buyer’s agent.

There's also a calculator on my website that will help you navigate different scenarios.

Also, if anyone has any experience in land purchasing I would appreciate any tips or websites on how to find the best deal or agent for the same.

I started my LLC in the summer and still working through some kinks getting website started for marketing.

Also there is an additional tax on the returns due to the financing.
