I hate to sound like a broken record but the best marketing strategies are combined direct marketing using postcard and letters and online marketing.

Who has the patience to deal with this crap now?

In that animated film, Over the Hedge, we meet the quintessential HOA president, a middle-aged, self-important, nosy busybody who is talking on her cell phone, of course, while driving her SUV and telling a resident her grass is 2" high when the CC&R's clearly specifies 1.75" (or something to that effect).Fortunately, I've never ran into such an individual at either of our two HOA's in nearly 3 decades combined.

The only lending going on is from the GSE's, but that is only because they are mandated to shovel all the crap loans on their books, until at some point they either get bailed out with more tax money or default...

Or, perhaps a combination of the two.Rentals just don't produce a ton of real income.

Then you combine that with an appropriate covered call strategy.

The Land Trust in and of itself is only a means to shield your name from the public record and when combined with an LLC (preferably two) makes it very difficult for someone to sue you.

As far as data is concerned, you can only get out what is put in, therefore, crap in, crap out.

Idiot college kids eat that crap up.

I have seen many beautiful pieces of granite installed like crap.
