@Christine House This can be the downside with investing in properties that have a HOA (sometimes they have a max capacity of how many rentals can be within the HOA, what type of rental they can be, or they can cut off rentals all together at anytime)If you have family that lives in the area, that could be a better option temporarily until you move it on into something else that can work for what you're tying to do.

Once we got the home reclassified at the 4% rate, the taxes dropped to under $600 with the same assessed value of the home.In my experience, rental property tends to be taxed at an actual rate of 6% while owner-occupied property has an actual rate between 0.5 and 0.7%.
