Again - if you don't own the property, you tend to treat it differently.Finally, some HOAs have gone to an HOA security deposit system to ensure damages to common areas are paid if caused by renters.Not intended to be legal advice but just commenting as to my experience.

The "sell my house [location]" ones tend to be more people who are less motivated and will likely go the agent or FSBO route first.... but def could down the line when they can't sell end up working w/ you (but now you're competing against a billion agents for that phrase which is a bit more difficult).
