@Belinda Fello- Usually, when you rent a property that has an HOA, you have a term in your lease that requires the tenant to comply with any rules or regulations of the HOA. 

If you are looking for a long-term loan then you'd just need a 700+ FICO and a property that cashflows.

STR market is dieing unless you can play in the 750-1.4M$ price point then there is opportunity, most are going MTR or LTR, we manage a vast amount of properties and see clients switching from furnished to long term unfurnished, lots of data around this...

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment.

I realize this will include 2 closing costs, but would be more to hold and pay interest on hard money loan.

I know the neighbors around here aren’t much fans of short term rentals so you man have an issue there.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Expenses>capitalization in terms of deductions and taxes. 

So in short, the past six months have been quite an adventure, left my day job, started a business, and moving to AR to start my own path as an architect-developer.
