Are HOA's typical and how much are they usually?

Hello,I asked my HOA for the current balance sheet, and all she sent me was a a very basic breakdown of assets and liabilities from almost half a year ago.

The numbers I've calculated work much better with detached SFHs mostly cause there is no HOA or a lower HOA. 

So for any given month, your cashflow would be cashflow = collected rent - PITI - repairs - maintenance - HOA fees - utilites -rental lisence - legal fees - advertising - property management - anything elese you had to pay during the monthAt the very least, your monthly casflow is $556 ($1350 - $794) if PITI in your only expense during the month. 

The pros: It cash flows 300/m, HOA fees are 175/m includes water, sewer and trash.

I would definitely check your HOA's and any ordinances. 

In your case, condo expense I presume is an hoa  fee plus possibly management fee, perhaps?  

I confirmed HOA doesn't cover external ground maintenance for a single family home.

Everything was the same.Why would someone leave a valuable asset lying around while paying ongoing holding costs (HOA and property taxes)?

I looked in that area too a while ago but was really turned off by outrageous HOA fees.
