Depends on city.Just go to the assessors office and see the rate and what the expected increase would be if you bought it.I was looking at a lot in Texas, higher taxes than CA and this lot had HOA's

@Chintan Parikh you'll also want to consider property taxes and HOA.

I am not seeing any numbers to look at.At the end of the day figure up your mortgage, utilities, and other reoccurring bills like HOA etc.Figure in you 150/night at 50% occupancy.

In an HOA foreclosure auction, all surplus funds go the previous owner, regardless of other mtgs/liens...in FL.

It is a win win for the HOA.

Some HOAs don't care.

Had to figure out local codes, permits, transient taxes, fees, collecting fees, HOA rules, business licenses and state taxes, insurance coverages, etc.

This is a very basic, low budget option but - if HOA and ordinances allow - get a "for sale" banner from Amazon (under $30 for 2x6) and hang it on that fence facing that playground.

The homes around here (unless they're in an HOA) can be wildly different from just the house next door. 

Make sure the HOA is in good shape and has plenty of money in their accounts.2) Your loan amount is pretty tiny.
