Whether the realtor should have searched the court documents to see if the hoa had legal right to sell is a moot point (I would have but most would assume the hoa had completed the process).

I have been looking online, but can't seem to find decent houses within the areas I have been searching in.

So wish me luck, and any tips would be appreciated haha.I am also planning on going to the OKCREIA meeting next month to try and meet some local investors.If anyone around OKC would like to connect hit me up.

can you invest locally instead?  

Just a tip: make sure you go into it with an experienced brokerage who really know their way around.I’ve personally been helping international investors get into the Dubai scene and work with experienced local companies that handle everything from start to finish.
