that they can contact for any issues.

I am in talks with an attorney but just wanted to see if anybody has dealt with a similar issue.

They can keep an eye on things and handle issues that come up quickly.Hope this helps!

This is their reasoning:"Rental makes common area management, communication, and covenant enforcement more difficult, and it increases the resources needed to manage the community.

This is easier than you think.Not commonly done for 1-4 unit residential, but very common for commercial.If you need a 35% capital injection, you find the human person with that capital.

Above 5+ units is possible but more challenging and rates are where you would expect them..50-65%LTV will be common for higher plex units, a common workarounds is if they have a US based family member or business partner with an LLC..Some investors or lenders have specific countries of origin that are restricted or even prohibited, check with your mortgage professional. 

This ensures they are keeping an eye on everything, they get to see what it's like to be a landlord, they have to take responsibility for the lawn and other maintenance, they will learn to deal with people issues, and more.

we own a piece of property that currently has 2 4 unit buildings on it, and we are in the planning phase of building 16 additional units on the property. the financing doesn’t seem to be an issue, but we are having difficulty wrapping our heads around the steps / sequence we should be doing things.

Analysis paralysis is super common, but the fact that you're ready to take action is a big step forward!

And, they can't blow me off or charge me $65 if I need to talk to them about an issue.
