Yes, it depends on the bank, but Fannie and Freddie have 15-day first look periods and HUD has a 30-day period for OO's, government, and non-profits.

Instead, it depends on where the entity was formed and what law governs its internal affairs.

If the purpose is the former, than you need to be honest about your motiviation, if the latter than any potential investors or lenders are interested in how you are going to make money - unless of course you are getting financing from a government or charitable organization whoose specific goals include social engineering.

My comments were tongue in cheek - though there is a bit of nostalgia for a time when I could not be reached, when it was excusable to turn a draft document around in a day or two instead of ten minutes, etc.Of course those innovations have helped the people you referred to - but so could have a million other innovations or their governments opening trade, freeing up controls, and bringing in free markets.

Looking back, it seems like a good area for investment, especially with the relatively strong government based economy.

The only way the HOA could force a sale of your boat is if you owe the HOA money, the HOA obtains a judicial judgment against you, levies a writ of execution on your personal property, forces an auction of your boat to satisfy the judgment, there is no statute that somehow disqualifies your boat from execution to satisfy a judgment, you have enough equity to exceed any value of the boat that is exempt from collection, and the remaining value makes it financially feasible to do so....Now, as to what the HOA can do - get copies of ALL of the governing documents, and have an expert review the documents to determine if you are violating any of the governing documents.

If the developer is still active, contact them and ask for any and all documents related to governing the development.As an FYI, if it is ever the case that the development falls apart and nobody wants/can manage it, usually the owners can gather together and have the deed restrictions removed as long as the deed restrictions no longer serve the purposes for which they were established.

An attorney in your area who is familiar with any condominum laws in CA should be given your facts AND should be given a copy of ALL governing documents, and ALL communications from the HOA to you.

I believe it's a farce.The government is saying they don't want these homes but do they REALLY NOT want these homes??

My children are now back in Boca Raton living with their grandparents until I can negotiate my government job to transfer me.
