Hi Bob,Make sure to have an investor friendly realtor so that you won't have issues afterwards.HOA are very tricky, as the boards change very often, they could be years that they don't do much and other years that they are suing residents if they are not maintaining the lawn.CC&R are the key to review in this case, those are public so available for you, and those are required to be provided by the seller every time.Don't go the route of do it anyways, that will have cause you consequences, I had a time that the HOA sued a property owner just for missing 6 months (the property owner was renting out the property and it didn't receive the invoice to pay the dues so she forgot).
