I don't understand how you can't track them down.You could stop paying HOA dues, and that will force them to contact you.As for the PM, I would instruct them to hold off on painting until the termite issue is resolved, which includes providing you with contact information of the HOA board.

Slowly moving projects when forced to by clients.I should have fired him 2 years ago but I was pot committed and didn't have the balls to start over with a new consultant.What I learned is that moving on quickly from an underperforming consultant is vital. 

I wouldn't get my hopes up as he really has no obligation to, but if he sees a $5K item he can offer and forcing the legal aspect would cost $5K as well, he just might go with path of least resistance...The other aspect is you should 100% figure out exactly what the cost for you to take care of your items would be.

In that case you could be forced to refinance, I suppose.

The way I see it is most homes will cost you 25% down and renovations out of state will be difficult or very expensive so the ability to force appreciation becomes tough.  

My concern for you is that you seem to be trying to force something to happen and that can lead to a decision you regret down the road.

I don't think it's right to do that and especially not in a public forum so I was "forced" to set the record straight.Mind you, the irony of that discussion is that I suspect we aren't probably disagreeing on much.

Law enforcement is now targeting third parties involved in “cooking the books” that “force by fraud” qualify clients for Covid-19 relief.

State not only allows but makes policies to force counties to comply but counties DO resist and purposely make the process very difficult.
