Welcome to the community, Nish. 

Nor will you get a Constable to go with you if you have not confronted the issues ahead of time......unless you encounter physical violence or a threat to your life, I highly doubt you will get any support in giving an eviction notice to a tenant.  

I am not able to take equity out of my condo because it is currently on the blacklist due to HOA fixing the roofing and a Fannie Mae rule stating, if more then 50% of the condos in that community are owned by investors, I may not be able to refi.

If you have a lot of liquidity and a great paying W2 and can support your rentals, focus on appreciation/equity.

However, he had a good reputation in the multifamily community.

One more tip hit town homes and condo communities in the area.

Hi Rory,Welcome to the community!

I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.

You looking for an attorney to sue yourself ( suing the hoa is suing yourself since you are a member of the community) may not be worth your time and you may be responsible if mold does grow while you have a tenant and then they complain of health issues since you have not addressed the problem.
