Tip: A Self Managed HOA that has no real estate experience and is managing the building = drama.Back to topic :)A healthy HOA should be able to tell you the status of the reserve account and whether or not the current monthly assessments consider projections for the next 10 years.

IN GA, I paid $450 for all. ( State fee, EIN and Operating Agreement) this is my first LLC So went with lawyer  to get all my questions answered  face to face.Even you can do you your self, by spending some time googling. 

I would like to think I'm a self starter but it can't hurt to have a good training program for my first year at least.

Are you self managing or PM?

That in its self is the activity accomplished. 

I am self employed and it seams to be hard to get a loan.Mark

I would like to transfer this to a self directed IRA to use for the downpayment on another rental house.  

Some of us regular self-employed or unemployed and whoever wants to beat the rush hour normally show up at 4pm.

Also if you are going to self manage after that look at how much you will be saving on their fee as well.

For a 65 unit self storage for $210k looks pretty good but When you said 3k a month equating to 36k a year..
