also consider the added mess from fruit trees, as well as the things they attract, for example in WI fruit not picked that starts to break down or drops and left to lay attract yellow jackets and other stinging bugs as well as the hazard of falling fruit, and staining concrete depending where they are. 

It's super important to buy in a newer concrete constructed building with a solid HOA. 

You have to meet Commercial code, ADA units, fire sprinklers, elevators (maybe), walkways, exterior stairways, etc.

Are HOAs legally binding entities that can involve building code enforcers or inspectors in issuing summonses to non-compliant neighbors?"

Of course if you choose to go down this road be sure to choose a company that will be there to bounce investment ideas off of to insure they're compliant. 

The problem is they have concrete baffles that are designed to hold back the scum layer.

@Brian KemplerWell if you do not send a borrower CFPB compliant statements and they do not pay you are not allowed to collect interest, late fees etc…That’s kind of a big deal, atleast for me it is.

But I could sure see what would essentially be extruded-concrete foundations catching on.

An IL lease will not always be compliant with thathttps://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/carbondaleil/latest/ca...Tenants are responsible for rent for the duration of their lease. 

Don't ever sell a property unless you have a concrete plan to invest the money somewhere else that will produce a greater return.Rent the entire house.
