My theory of business is in to order to get you first need to give.

When investing in real estate, having multiple exit strategies is key.For a single investment property, make sure the numbers work for both scenarios: 1️) If you decide to sell the home, the deal should produce a solid return. 2️) If you need to rent it out, the rental income should cover expenses and provide a profit.Flexibility is what saves you when things don’t turn out as planned.

:(Look at how you describe them in that last response.

Quote from @Rich Thomas: You should have received documentation about the HOA board when you purchased.

If you have doubts get the extended warranty. 

You can self manage from anywhere.

PLUS, if a bank decides at the last minute they don’t want to borrow you money for a new type and price range of property for you.

I think you're on the right track with Lowell - that's consistently been one of the most affordable markets in the greater Boston area when you consider price to rent metrics.
