By optioning 25% of the units he complied with the requirement to maintain ownership, but had the "sales in the bag" so to speak.As for me, I paid market rent for 24 months, but got a 50% credit towards the future purchase -- the purchase price was set up front, at the then current market value.

However, the HOA has recently created a very finite color palette and is requesting that our home now comply with the new colors.

You could just give them a one time credit and tell them the 2,200 starts back next month.If they don't comply then you file eviction.You have to show you are serious or they will take advantage.With my tenants one of 2 things happen.They either pay the money after I file or I get them out.

To raise new capital in order to comply with regulatory capital standards, those banks would have to attract capital from the capital markets and probably pay a higher rate than those banks that made good loans and did not incur losses.An analogy would be what you as an experienced real estate investor pay in interest for loans versus a novice RE investor who paid back the loan on the first deal with several late payments.
