I have spoken to my neighbours but they do not know who the HOA board members are ( it is a large complex with 100 + townhouses).It is very strange but it has not proved to be a problem in the past as the management company deal with the properties externally ( eg painting ) and the common parts and have always done so competently and individual oners deal with the inside of the properties.They are now proceeding with the painting without doing anything about the termites.

It's a really high-energy dog and I don't think they take it out often enough, so they play indoors a lot.

Second, the investment may have been made anticipating a chance of failure; for example an investment may correctly analyze that it has a 50% chance of a 25% ROI, a 35% chance of a 50% ROI, and a 15% chance of a 50% loss.  

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to Quest Trust Co, now known as Inspira?

Then yes, maybe you can a couple hundred a month on your $50k.

If I wanted more information, I'd call some of the rental units for sale, property managers, and real estate agents in the area to get a pulse on what's going on down there.

Are you looking specifically for insurance placement companies or corporate housing or a mix?

@Dina Schmid if you are downtown and have a larger property you can do 125k plus a year.

As a new real estate investor you have to establish some business goals, if you want to treat it as a business and not a hobby.  

I am specifically looking at a 1985 Connor Industries home.
