It's not your tax files where you might clean them out after 10 years, they cannot be cleared out.If the HOA is out of compliance I would not buy into the unit and if there and they don't comply with your legitimate requests you'll likely have to sue them.BTW, I used to own a lot of property in Houston TX which has no zoning so everything was in an HOA, I've served on HOA boards and been president of HOAs twice including my current residence in CO.

I’ve tried Googling this but can’t get a clear picture of what exactly is required up front or if we’re even eligible.

However, someday I will move on to the next deal and the duplex will revert back to $1200.Clearly, the extra $300 boosts my real CoC return on that deal.Thank you in advance for your comments.Bob

This is important since you don't want your name, or any other info, attached to this when you transfer ownership.Not clear at all on what you are asking about "in case of default".If you have any questions just PM me direct.

You need to make sure you have clearly defined goals prior to getting started and make sure this property fits into those.   

Title Company came back and said the title was clear and all was good.

I took pics of it all so think I am good but surely there is something I can do as feel she, and idiots like her, should not be able to do this kind of thing, she is the sort of person that thinks it's her world and we just live here.Should I make a non urgent report to the police or serve her an injunction never to return to this property just to make it clear she was in the wrong.

jordan, you beat me at my first year.i sold my first only rental a single wide trailer on own land feb 2017 which only paid loan earned $ 7k, profit on depreciating asset, all while living down street in foreclosure i bought earlier, zero down, since it had 2 "homes" on 15 acres  i had it surveyed with new deed and subdivided  the 3 acre back lot camp barns, then went credit union put debt consolidation note on camp since owned outright, no appraisal or inspection needed,  cleared ratios to refinance the bigger nicer one home, used that money cash out to help me buy a 3 unit, financed fix up money, then moved into 3 unit, rented primary home, rented 2 other units, then with 3 rental units income qualified just bought 3 b1 b house to rinse and repeat now in process to refinance my fixed up 3 unit. now i just incorporated after joining bp, thats all in last 15 months. now if i can get enough cash out refi on my 3 unit im praying for good appraisals to buy reo down street to rinse rehab and repeat and im still not sure im doing it right. im still using banks or credit unions. love find investor to simplify process and reduce paperwork.i tried listing my camp on air bnb but no one wants rent off grid river front home. lol.now got hire crew and management. 

Clear process of whats going to happen, phone number, benefits of working with you as opposed to an agent. 

Things in a business need to be clear cut and responsibilities have to be black and white.
