The sheets are overpriced, subject to pilling and take forever to dry.

My flips are not investments, they are a business, but my returns blow away the stockmarket (this too is a generalization...I am guilty of oversimplification also). 

Or wait till the train comes thru at 2am and blows the horn every night and weekends. 

Then I was tipped off to a city service called Landlord Mitigation Fund where, if you're housing a Section 8 tenant and they leave you high and dry like this, you can submit proof and they'll issue you a check.

Thankfully it stopped there and didn't blow up my propane tank or blow into an open window in the units below me and light a unit on fire...anyway...I'm not a lawyer, but my advice to you is to make sure your lease is air tight and spells out the HOA rules.

Rates/fees vary quite a bit and if you are quoted a low rate that blows others out of the water then most likely the fees that come with it are higher.

forcing an easement is a pretty difficult thing to do its not cut and dry by any means and you for sure can landlock a property absolutly. there was a incredible 80 acre parcel I was trying to buy in Southern Lake co  just over the Napa county line .

If you are literally calling dry, with no list, I'd rather bang my head against a wall for two hours.

Are you worried your spouse will blow through the money and you won't be able to pay rent?

The market is just super dry right now.As for strategy, the SFH I currently live in will become a rental along with at least one I’d like to buy.
