Went to my bank today to get pre qualified for loan on property I’m looking at and was denied due to my down payment being gift funds from my brother.

Very true on supply demand side - the 90 residential units actually were denied by the town, so just a the residential that is coming in with the whole foods/retail will come in.

I'm sorry this happened to you but you don't own the property and you cannot restrict/deny access to it by the owner. 

He was abused by the original owner.Thanks for the replies, but this thread can be closed now.

My eyes were opened to the idea of proceeding with a sale and then seeking post-sale legal remedies to perfect the title transfer in egregiously abusive or fraudulent BK filings.

It does not take abuse well. 

There will be times when poor reviews come from tenants who were evicted or applicants who were denied but there is no reason you cannot have happy tenants.

I am an Illinois real estate attorney and I admit I am unfamiliar with Indiana condominium law.However, I believe that a condo owner in any state has the right to request and receive a copy of any document in the possession of the condo association.In Illinois, the condo HOA/Management company has 30 days to deliver a documents I have requested in writing, in Florida I think it's 5 days.But, most HOAs will cooperate with and respond quicker to a lender.It is possible that there was a miscommunication between your lender and the HOA.Perhaps the lender did not put their request in writing and give them your name and unit location.Perhaps the HOA requires that a fee be paid, such as the fees charged for a Condo Questionnaire.Perhaps the HOA requires you to "sign off" on this issue/written signature release.Regardless, you should contact the HOA/management company yourself and ask them why they denied your lender's request.Finally, you may find that the lender also wants their name to show as an additional insured on the Master Policy and if so, this HOA must become much more cooperative.Good luck.   

You cannot deny the family because of the lead paint either, that's considered discrimination (you're refusing them because they have a kid, even if you're just trying to protect that kid) and is against the anti-discrimination laws of the state.

Also, the property is probably old and with that comes lots of expensive repairs not including the repairs needed due to abuse and neglect from the tenant.
