There are four key principles that guide me:- Consistency is everything- Never stop learning- Take Action- Value relationships over everything else1) Consistency is everything There are multiple things that I do every single day- Read – 10+ minutes.

My experience has been that most lenders don’t immediately move on this, many don’t take action for 6 - 12 months.  

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.  

Or is it silly to take action in that regard and just save enough cash?

The tenant understands that the property of the Tenant is not insured by the landlord for damage or loss of any kind (action of third party, fire, water, theft, vandalism, storm, heat or cold, electrical damage, pests, mold, accident, etc.), and the Landlord assumes no liability for such loss.

Use Automated Follow-Ups to Build RelationshipsMost deals aren’t closed on the first contact, which is why follow-ups are essential.Example Workflow:Day 1: Send a thank-you email after a seller contacts you.Day 3: Share a case study of a seller you helped.Day 7: Send a friendly reminder with a call-to-action like “Let’s schedule a quick call to discuss your options.”Pro Tip: Mix email and SMS follow-ups to keep the conversation warm.Why It Works:Automation saves you time while nurturing leads until they’re ready to sell.3.

It seems to me though your short term objective is to get the HOA to take immediate action on the roof.

If a person owns a rental property in IN and if something happens on that property, the cause of action (lawsuit) would go before a court in IN, with an IN judge, citing IN law.
