The LLC allows me to pay the annual taxes and HOA fees. 

Sold a property at end of October and there was a special levy being voted on by the strata (HOA) so my notary advised they had to holdback proceeds from the sale in the event that the strata votes and passes the levy.The levy options were:i) Increase strata fees by $100/mo and with one time charge of $1200ii) Increase strata fees by $200/mo with no one time chargeDuring that strata meeting, I'm told that they were unable to legally conclude the vote as the votes were counted after the official end of the meeting.

The best thing the new owner gets the hoa presidency and controls the board.Any tips would be appreciated. 

I believe the HOA fees are $300 on average.

Refi of $110k at 3.125% yields a payment of 538/mo PITI. add 255 for HOA which covers water, trash, roof, exterior, common grounds. 

If you don't mind, you can always start with condos with low HOA fees.

$2300 rent, $350 HOA, $1645 mortgage and escrow.

Driving for dollars seems harder with a condo as well since the outsides tend to be decent from the HOA and I can’t see the inside.

@Riley Way A little off topic but why is HOA so high for a 400k home?
