For entities that exist to preserve the value and lifestyle of a community, HOA's don't seem to give a damn that investors are rescuing an often neglected home with a non-performing account, and turning them into a quality place to live with a HOA fee paying homeowner.Are others around the country seeing these outrageous fees, and is there anything that we can do to combat this?

That said, @Richard Burke there are proper ways that rules (especially antiquated rules) can be changed.

Except for the unscrupulous wholesalers that try to re-market property already for sale at a higher price, proper deal sourcing and problem solving does take a ton of work!

It is fundamental for me to comp properties properly. 

Send a demand letter via certified mail giving the PM (and their broker if applicable) 10 days to provide a copy of the lease, proper accounting for the $$ and any deposit/funds remaining. 

@Andrew Li @OnYango Williams @Jason Edwards @Mark Gallagher @Shmuel Harris @Rob Singles @Matthew Kreitzer Sorry I just realized my previous post didn't post properly - thank you all of your advice.

@Justin Hamel, to get the @ symbol to work properly to tag someone, you have to choose the name that pops up in a prompt near the bottom of the page after you type the symbol and the first few letters of the persons name. 

Salt water, storm threats, and a snow-bird lifestyle are the driving force behind the need.

Plus, instead of 1 or 4 properties, BRRRR executed properly has no limits.

It will all come down to whether you truly managed separate accounts within mixing funds, did you maintain the proper business filings for every separate entity, or where the business just created to defraud creditors, etc.
