Also, if you are renting, know that a lot of condo associations restrict rentals.

Hey @Bryan Senker, we allow dogs but I do restrict based on breed.

As mentioned above, they are restricted to 65% LTARV.What is 65% LTARV in this case?.

Also short-term rentals face significantly fewer legal restrictions in Kissimmee than in other top markets.

If Indiana has a law precluding owners from managing their own properties that would be very unique and a scary overstep of liberty, so I'd bet the restriction is that in order to manage any property you don't own you'd need a real estate license.Regarding using a Property Management company . . . the skew in management is the same as in general real estate, but management gives you way more data points to see if the company sucks or not. 

There are many fraudulent ESAs out there, usually people trying to avoid pet rent or bringing in a restrictive breed. 

pay attention to easements, building restrictions, rights of way, etcIs there ledge? 

By the 3rd or 4th deal you'll probably need to go commercial on your loan because of Debt to Income restrictions.

You will get a lot of people who write condos off because of the HOA but if you find one with low fees and fewer restrictions, you will be fine.  

File at earliest possible timeframe and make sure that in the filing, your hardship time restricted mortgage terms and occupancy are also considered,
