I am more concerned about turn-over rate of a unit without off-street parking.Again thank you for your response and good luck with your first deal!

Sorry for the delayed response -- I just now saw your post. 

I have had water damage to floors all along the front of my house  because water was regularly directed into my house from the irrigation nozzles and the HOA are responsible for themI want to sue for the cost of the new floors, but am concerned exactly WHO to sue.

@John Warren I greatly appreciate your response to my question as it's opening me up to new ways of thinking. 

Thanks for the responses Grayson and Brian.I would love to join for one of the meet ups.

Even so, November and December are pretty slow.

Water runs for about 10 seconds then the flow slows to a trickle.

I think the lazyness of some landlords is really starting to piss tenants off - it tells them that when something goes wrong the landlord will be just as responsive and hands off. 

I have taken a slow and steady path, while also remaining successful in my “other” career (software).

Hey Kathy, thanks for the response.
