For example, if an HOA establishes a rule regarding exterior paint covers, deed restriction enforcement would be with that HOA.It is important to be aware that liability for breaking a covenant rests with the titleholder to the property, even if that individual is not the one who technically engaged in the deed restriction violations.

Anyone have experience as HOA Management in what happens to revenue when property owners losing their houses?

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Good question, i'm not sure how the HOA will manage STR.The Villages is building a new community center & hospital 4 miles away, so there may be a market for it.

Those condo hoa's can do all kinds of crazy stuff to ding you - even after you buy the property. 

SHE DOES NOT OWN THE LAND AND PAYS LOT RENT, It is in an HOA, she needs a 1000 down, owes 50k on the mortgage.

My A class that I own I self manage I have a RE agent that puts them up they find a tenant I require 700 plus fico so that weeds out 90% of renters and then I set them up on auto pay and if they have an issue we send handyman.. to be fair my units are basically new construction and townhouses in HOA's in the Desert ( vegas) so there simply is not a lot of maintenance. there is A class in every city its just that investors get so focused on  positive cash flow they dont buy those for rental purposes so they miss out on the best rental tenants.. the higher the cash flow on paper the lower the quality of the units.. its a fact..
