If I was going to self-perform the work I wouldn't be so quick to want them removed as I would have some more time to possibly work something out with them.

As i said before he just called me saying he is in a bind with onother property he's trying to get ready that seems to be more important than this one, so he's willing to sell for a lower price than he has it on the market for. he said he just put it on the market yesterday but thats gonna take too long to process he wants to get rid of it quick since he's trying to finish up the next property that will make him more money.I went by to look at the house its in great shape, great neighbour hood.And i was planing on flipping it to a cash buyer so was thinking to negotiate a deal with the seller so we could all gain something from it. 

When time comes to run a quick analysis on the numbers, they don't make any sense.

thank you for the quick and straight forward reply!

Driving the neighborhood is an easy way to do this... if you see a bunch of dumpsters in driveways and on the street where renovations and new builds are happening it is pretty safe to say that area is hot.Here are a few links that may be helpful:https://destinationgno.com/https://www.nola.com/neighborhoods/2015/04/new_orl...https://www.nola.com/300/2017/07/where_yat_good_qu...This one is meant to be funny, but it is actually fairly accurate:  https://judgmentalmaps.com/post/98323841965/neworl...https://nola.curbed.com/maps/new-orleans-neighborh...https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/la/new-orleans/r...https://realestate.nola.com/realestate-news/2018/0...https://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/artic...https://crime-heatmap.herokuapp.com/Good luck and happy investing!

@Brandon Miller thank you for the quick response and PM!

These are big ticket items that were planned for but if the planning took place too far in the past, a roof that was quoted and budgeted for $80,000 now cost the HOA $105,000 that $25,000 has to be made up quickly into the HOA bank account.

A quick Google search should get you headed in the right direction.
