I'd like to speak to the it's the owner not the dog, it's a bit like the gun control issue.

If you spend 10-15 minutes watching every week, you'll know how to price your home.

Regarding the HOA and CC&R's, the builder can make changes to the CC&R's pretty easily while the development is under Declarant Control.

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.  

Despite the inability to claim depreciation or avoid certain taxes, many investors appreciate the control an SDIRA offers, allowing them to invest directly in real estate and other alternative assets they are passionate about.I do not recommend buying tax-efficient assets like RE in the already tax-efficient IRAs.

Instead of being transparent about it, you had me spend a bunch of money on things I shouldn't have since there was no intent on closing the deal.

My goal of refinancing was simply lowering our monthly spending to reallocate towards future investments.

Yes this method only works if #1 You make more money than you spend#2  You are willing to spend less than you make.#3  it works because people don't have discipline to pay their mortgage beyond the minimum.  

I control all the money and pay all the subs directly.. that's how we got in trouble the first time GC not paying subs..

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.
