I financed this deal through a private lender, which provided the flexibility and speed needed to close quickly.

However, short-term rentals where the owner is not providing meals may not fall under this definition.Legal Precedents: Various court cases have established that renting out a home for short periods does not automatically convert it to a commercial use, especially if the property is still being used primarily for residential purposes.HOA Enforcement: If the HOA decides to enforce this clause against short-term rentals, it may need to clarify its stance and possibly amend the CC&Rs to explicitly include or exclude short-term rentals to avoid confusion.In summary, while the CC&Rs may suggest restrictions, the interpretation can vary based on legal precedents and the specific wording of the documents.

unfortunately, a lot of new investors are under the impression that if they are not purchasing properties, they automatically have 'analysis paralysis.' 

Quality over speed saves time and money in the long run.

I financed this deal initially with a hard money loan, which provided the speed and flexibility needed to close the purchase quickly.

I financed this deal through a private lender, which provided the flexibility and speed needed to acquire the property and begin renovations.

Let's assume there is no CO obtained immediately after the sale (will do later after repairs are done), and no township or local-level inspections requested.Is the township automatically notified by the county of the sale or is there some mechanism by which they would learn about the sale and update their records, other than by the buyer telling them about it, or applying for a CO? 

any proactive steps i can take to help speed up the process?

Also, streamlining the permitting process could speed things up even more.
