Regarding the HOA and CC&R's, the builder can make changes to the CC&R's pretty easily while the development is under Declarant Control.

Like I said I do this but for much bigger deals and for my existing clients that are then using me to fund their deals.. and I have total control of the transaction.. these folks are going to learn the hard way. what happens when the deal does not close and the seller wont sign the release ???? 

Focusing on what you can control, like consistent effort, really sets the foundation for success.

California is the only state that has essentially put a rent control type of restriction on home owner insurance premiums.

There’s not much I can do to control the Bay Area real estate market, and our property has gone down in value since we purchased it.

The title company that was used for this transaction held things up and unfortunately, we had no control over that.

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.  

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.  

You are in control of how the set up works, if you need interior designer help.

Besides all the benefits of real estate, I like the control I have, and I like the discounts on the purchase price, I'm able to get.
