I have offered both to buy them a condo to start, but they aren't ready yet so one is renting and one lives in an ADU on my property.Single-family is strong and smart, but I like condos for younger kids because the HOA saves them of all the things they don't know how to do.

It seems most of the HOA's have figured out the insurance issues from the past couple of years and have leveled out their HOA fees and insurance assessments.

Depends on your state and I'm assuming you have the basic stuff about lease termination, eviction, etc.A few we like to add:- if you don't change filters, then tenants pay for a full duct cleaning- charge an admin fee for all HOA notifications, not just violations- Clear tenant responsibilities- Fees for adding or removing tenantsBest of luck!
