I feel better now, but perhaps I should start looking for a lawyer who can help on the matter of the tenant taking in her mother without my permission and they having walled in the deck with heavy curtains, which impedes air circulation, etc.  

We also made serious changes to the exterior entrances and decks.

Many groups that you hear about are more incentivized to buy deals through their 3% acq fees + financing fees, etc then they are to find good deals (but every deck will tell you it is the greatest deal ever, until the next deck comes out).  

Exterior attachments like decks and stairs are always HOA issues so I can't fathom how the driveway is not.

I do most of the putting out fires, hiring handyman, bribing people to not leave a bad review because they saw dust on a ceiling fan blade (lol). 

I’ll fight them 100 percent, but the deck is way stacked against you.

Needs gutters, full kitchen and bath, floors, paint with some drywall repair, windows, front porch and the deck on the rear is pretty poor as well.

They have a sponsor directory where sponsors can upload their track records and slide decks. 

I think another idea is come up with some renderings and a slide deck and go make presentations at the closest senior centers, Rotary and other service clubs, maybe several nearby chambers and see what kind of interest there is. 

Examples include replacing a deck or renovating a kitchen.
