That way, you can at least have some input to how the money is spent and how or when the fees change..The way you need to look at a HOA, if it's done correctly, is as an enforced Maintenance and Capital Reserve expenditure, which are moneys you'd have spend one way or another anyway.

I wake up everyday with an unexplainable urge/hunger to invest in commercial real estate, but I have to spend the entire day learning abstract skills which I will never use in life.

Like many others, I've been looking for additional avenues in which to gain financial independence so that I might have more time to spend with my growing family. 

I look forward to the education I will get from spending time on the BiggerPockets site.

The idea of spending money that I would never see again (renting) did not make sense to me.About 2 years after my purchase, I found Bigger Pockets while figuring out how to rent my condo.

You won't be able to make a purchase with a hard money loan, you may want to seek private money.

Hello, As a newbie what percentage should I expect to a private lender?

The reason for NNN is I don't want to spend anything for maintenance/taxes or any sort of expenses.

(Flippling, Wholesale, Buy and hold, Syndications, Private Lending, etc)Good luck!
