The smaller the bank the better your chances are of actually speaking to someone who can make a decision.

For us it was between 50 and 75 we had to make a hard decision. 

I have no idea if our HOA funds pay his lawyer, if he pays himself to plow our road (they refuse to hire anyone to maintain it, he does it just fine himself), there are serious drainage issues that won't be addressed, and a litany of other questions that should be answered before forcing a vote.I have yet to move into my house but it seems all of these sudden changes have to do with the Presidents hatred for one family that owns multiple lots (all new covenants and bylaws are aimed at one family, the president even held a secret zoom meeting with us and another new family to steer our vote the way he would like AND mildly trash talk one specific family).Isn't there a law in Indiana to protect homeowners from being forced to vote on such a major decision without providing adequate resources for us to determine if this is right for the community?

Also, another benefit with working with our company is that you deal with the decision maker (aka me) directly so no approval from a board is needed.

Act quickly, and decisively when a tenant breaks the lease. 

Someone has asked me if I am willing to waive them Somewhat personal decision on the inspection contingency.

For some getting to the decision you just made is the hardest part. 

Or, until you have a real estate empire then just file a Ficticious Business Statement and use a DBA and you can still get separate tax ID numbers from the IRS for each DBA.I am cheap and before making every business decision I often think about everything for several months, or even several years.

@Deanne BourneThe book on managing rental properties by Brandon Turner is great for starting out and making good decisions as a landlord!

So many people let the fear of the unknown influence their decisions!
