This is effin OUTRAGEOUS.Why didn't they just invite all the tenants to trash their apartments while they were at it?

Such as a tenant spewing venom about you on the internet, a tenant purposely damaging a place, or inviting a City inspector to your property.  

I wasn’t familiar with this particular tool but I think I’m going to take this advice and use this to help verify rents and I’m leaning more towards accepting his invitation to meet and look at his financials.

@Alejandro GarciaInspections, due diligence on the property, decide if you are leaving as is or adding square footage, invite GC's and or subs to come in and quote for work at the same time as inspections so you aren't being rude to the occupant and respecting their time, invite architects if you are modifying anything, also invite them if you are converting the garage into an ADU, if you are terrible and design, find someone who isn't, most GC's are so don't rely on their sense of design.

By buying into that HOA, you have now invited 100 complete strangers into your investment, whether they know anything about property management or money management or are fiscally responsible.Now, any one of them can attempt to get onto the board of the HOA. 

Not only do you have dues you can't ever predict, but the rules can change, the association could end up with idiots (very common) on the board who destroy the financials - it's like inviting a whole bunch of strangers who probably have zero real estate savvy or property management savvy or commercial financial management savvy - into your investment.I made the mistake of investing in one once, after only owning anything fee simple prior, and I couldn't wait to sell it. 

You should be able to get it $3ft installed.Make it clean, fresh, bright and inviting.

You are invited to North Idaho REI's meeting!! 

Use other mail pieces, such as postcards, invitation style envelopes.

Thanks for the invite @Mike Hurney.
