We hoped to go FHA but couldn't meet self sufficiency with the low down payment.

If your intent is to get possession and not worry about a judgement, then service by posting should be sufficient.

The CCR's for this specific POA allow the Board President to sign over real estate so long as the Special Meeting procedures occur.I figure if I get a Quit Claim then the County may not allow me to re-Plat as I may not have sufficient Title to perform this task, or the abandonment process, which means the RoW land would not be marketable to future buyers - rendering any investment in it useless.  

I am SEVERELY limited in my choices of where I can relocate and this would have worked (zoning and all are ALL fine, just not these damn CCRs). 

You can take them 3 weeks apart if my memory is correct, there are 3 of them.The state test is very easy, I paid $50 for some multiple choice tests via Kaplan and did a few hundred questions and that was it.Test focuses a lot on disclosure and how to handle deposit money, basically don't be an idiot, dishonest thief.  

Working at a job was never something I enjoyed and I am the happiest person in the world since I've made my choice.

I was quite excited that I don't have anymore student loan, so I made a wrong choice.

I typically look for people that are renting by choice and not because they cannot qualify to buy a home.

My down payment situation would allow me to put 20 percent down on a small townhome or home for a future house rental but I would probably not be able to put quite 20 percent down for a habitable duplex in this market and maintain sufficient reserves. leading to my question for all you MSP investors out there. 

Try to get it closer to 1.2M.Get it under contract with sufficient escape clauses and follow through with your due diligence.
