These steps ensure the property meets high standards and minimizes surprises.

We have had a pleasant and unexpected surprise of some appreciation over the past ten years in addition to rent increases to over $1k for good SFHs.

So I would be surprised if the HOA cant prove publishing error if this gets reversed or how the county superviors can over turn a sale for dollars owed to the state.

However, a surprise occurred with title that drove up our acquisition cost to almost $120k.

So, that part of your response surprised me.

I have had luck with doing direct mail marketing for some of my past clients that wanted a certain area or neighborhood, you'd be surprised at how many sellers don't want to deal with showings and everything else that goes into listing a home. 

Stack, a fact which should come as little surprise :) An eventual future bill now seems likely to prohibit conversions in Union City alone.
