What is the best method of collecting HOA dues?

Some of them will have extensive training, some of them will have attractive commission structure.

@zachary rymarcsuk yes have researched extensively on converting my 200 sq ft garage into a 3rd bedroom with private entrance for short term rentals.

I started this project hoping i could efficiently review the most amount of properties in order to maximize the potential investment options to bid at auction....this is what I have so far.First thing i did was to create the listings, I matched the properties been auctioned with their corresponding pics and the property specs (rooms, size, floors etc.).Second, for each property I automated the data collection process from public records and created a report with: Foreclosure info, owner info, taxes data, liens including mortgages , satisfaction of mortgages,  assigments, violations and permits and court dockets.This data is updated daily to capture new filings (specially the dockets to capture bk and motions to cancel sales)Now that i have the data i can apply my personal "preferences" to go through the report and in a few minutes discard  properties that have certain attributes I "dislike". 

If you're willing to wait and don't need the cash, you can go the payment route and collect monthly payments.

Again, I would stress that judicial sales (and by extension repository sales) can divest the other liens.

You can obtain pricing now, or wait until you have a few more months seasoning – as only two payments have been made so far and that will come up in the evaluation.To receive a quote, a buyer will ask:Property addressProperty type Owner or Tenant occupiedProperty selling price and down paymentBorrower name(s)Copy of the note and mortgage/deed of trust (or contract if a CFD, land contract, etc)Closing statementWho's collecting payments (you or a licensed servicer, title company, etc)?

I have been educating myself with the extensive knowledge of bigger pockets in order to understand the vast dynamic that is REAL ESTATE!

Scam artists that collect up-front fees may not actually provide any of the services promised, or may even disappear overnight.

It has been extensively debated among professionals ever since the PPP started, and to my knowledge there is no consensus.Here's my 2 cents on this highly debatable topic.
