HOA's can be a pain in the butt sometimes.

I remember being a tenant in a home with oil and it was a bit of a pain to deal with also could get expensive for a tenant. 

It is so time consuming and a pain in the ***.

What's important is how much money you'll need to accommodate this process, both in terms of renovation costs and in terms of reserves because this process is painful...As such, yes - you should walk into each apartment to make sure it's not a totally down unit which instead of $12,000 will cost $20,000 to put together.

No pain, no gain as they say. 

I don't want him torching the place or making this a huge pain.  

@Hayes Mercure Along with the monthly fees make sure to get a good picture on the financial health of the HOA as a whole.

Good bones or not, rehabing is going to be a pain, and is going to cost a lot more than you expect. 

No one was hurt, but there was a lot of pain for both the tenant and myself.

@Xavier Stanish Whenever I hear that response I get chest pains.
