@Jean Bolger, what I'm afraid of is that what you describe might NOT be an isolated case--it just seems to me (intuitively, without any real proof) that the disputes among board members in a small complex would so much more personal than in a larger complex.I don't know which would be worse--dealing with bad tenants, or dealing with stubborn HOA members, ha ha!

The portion there of you taking all the profits or losses is a bit counter intuitive to splitting things 50/50.

Some background on layout - her front door leads into the 'foyer' of the front common entrance. the front camera would observe them going in and out and also downstairs to the laundry area.

With a property purchase, CoC is intuitively aligned because it presumably is returned at liquidation (hopefully with appreciation and principal paydown!)

We put all new systems in the house, opened up the layout and added some upgrades to get the highest sales price in the community.

We changed some of the layout to make it more modern and open feeling all to draw a higher class buyer and it worked.

Because I would have to have the online/cloud version to properly outsource it, which is counter intuitive. 

If the layout of the house doesn't flow, and there's no way to cost effectively reconfigure it, then run away. 

If it is, the fifth bedroom will help you, but it also depends on how big the bedrooms are/ the layout/ the bathroom count.

I seriously doubt TurboTax gets it right - and that is speaking as an ex-Intuit employee.A really good tax person / accountant / CPA is hard to find, but once you find them they will save you huge amounts of time and money.
