My favorite part is that we can take the percentage of the structures assessed value (assessed improvements value / assessed total value [including land] = Percentage) and the play our purchase price by the percentage to get our depreciable basis (not including acquisition/closing costs, of course).

New investors tend to fail in factoring in all costs, including repairs, maintenance, vacancies, and property management fees. 

However, in many cases you likely won't be able to obtain by-laws until you are under contract.I would have your attorney include a specific "HOA" rider in the contract for this exact reason- It basically would require that you have ample time to review the governing docs of the HOA, such as master deed, current by-laws, current year’s budget, and last two years of audited financial statements, association meeting minutes, etc. 

You'd also need to make sure the property debt services at that high of an LTV.
