Quote from @Drew Bledsoe: I recently bought a condo with the intention to rent out but after closing we found out that the HOA doesn’t allow rentals.

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Kris Mead logically, there are only 3 possibilities:1) Your property is in a bad area, so you'll only get bad tenants2) You have a bad PMC, so find a better one3) Insanely bad luckWhat’s crazy is I think all 3 are a factor.1) We knew the area would be a risk, but we did a lot of research in the zip code and this particular neighborhood is SUPPOSED to be better.
