PLUS, depending on the state of your property, there are typically State supported Statues that give the HOA authority.

If the tenants can provide you with written rent receipts you could probably take that to the authorities as this is theft.

That first picture reminds me of certain news stories....News stories that involve a group of people holed up or barricaded in a COMPOUND and surrounded by the ATF, the FBI, and state and local authorities. 

Also when you get an 3rd party authorization form signed to talk to the lender about the payments does it have to be notarized?

@Ray Johnson The reason my parameters are set that way is because the BP Newbie webinar I attended suggested this guide:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/wp-content...Brandon Turner, the author, states he expects at least 200 cash flow from each unit he has and I reckon that is a highly conservative estimate.

The person making the deals and talking to other folks and signing papers will be deposed and when he does he has to disclose all information pertaining to his authority and ownership. 

This is something I have heard Southern California REI Mike Cantu talk about.I have read other posts’ similar to this one, but the answers are far too vague and usually conclude with the author saying something like “I assumed the VA loan subject-to the existing mortgage and didn’t tell the lender.”

The easy way is to contact your local authorities and find out what you need to do.

The suggestion was that, had the texts been "signed" (by someone with authority to bind) they may have enforced the text message sequence as the written agreement.  

Hi,  I joined BP a few weeks ago and lurked a bit and decided to start posting (or well, a post anyhow, I don't have any relevant advice to give so I won't likely be a prolific author here).In any case, I'm a 34 y/o engineer in Portland, OR.
