And, as much as HOA's can be a pain, they do keep an eye on things so if your tenants are doing something they shouldn't be you will likely find out about it, where in a SFR you may never find out.In general a lot of people don't like HOA's or CC&R's (I get it), or the possibility of unplanned special assessments (I get that too), but a certain percentage of the HOA dues you would have to pay in a SFR anyway (landscaping, painting, repairs and maintenance, insurance for the outside, pool/spa, gates, etc). 

Hey Everyone,We're looking for a short-term loan document to outline the terms of a private loan.Without going into too many details, we are in the process of acquiring a new MFH rental property and borrowed about $60,000 from family to be repaid over 10 years with 3% interest.

If you buy a home generally it will be automatIcally insured up to a couple weeks till the details get sorted out atleast that’s how it is for Erie insurance in my area .

If you want her contact details feel free to PM me.

I don't see the details spelled out.I am self employed.
