Regardless I would keep taking applications until you can select the most qualified applicant which ideally will not be this applicant.Set your screening standards high.

Anyone have a good run down on what's involved to do it above board?

Agree with @Dan Mackin - you'll almost certainly owe the superlien amount which is equal to 6 months worth of dues.You may or may not owe all or a portion of the rest of the amount based on date of filing, etc.Be prepared to find the HOA board completely unwilling to negotiate. 

My personal opinion is that agents make too much off all sales with very little (or no) skin in the game.

I'm not aware of being qualified with commercial either.Thanks for the info btw.

yea we have alot of money in low cost index funds as of now. they work great in between saving for a property with cash.I've though about leverage but between the p and I cap ex maitnance vacancy and all the other stuff it is cheaper to buy the condo with cash then up and sell it when I can buy the duplex. taxes are high here for homes on there own lot the condo is closer to 1 percent property taxes were as single family homes and duplexes and such are closer to 2 percent to 2.2 percent so that is a big reason why it makes more sense as of now.yea just this first duplex I want to pay cash for. after that I have no problem with leverage. but if we live in it it's gotta be paid for it creates a very stable rock so if the wind blows hard I am protected and have no worrysit really helps ease my anxiaty disorder and will prevent a stroke at a early age. a large reason as well is we cant qualify for a morgage that large.

If you want to be a tenant and get all the rights of a tenant, just contact the landlord, explain the situation and ask to apply or at least sublease while your BF is away... unless you don't qualify, I'm sure he/she would be perfectly fine just continuing it with you vs. having a vacancy. 

The building inspector shows up and has now placed a Stop Work Order on my front door.In addition, she apparently also called the Board of Health and they came to inspect the property.

In fact the bulk of the money went to a cause her niece is a board member.From a different articleHer donations, which altogether total $8.2 million, are intended to be used to finance scholarships.

Incentives for referring a qualified friend or family member to lease one of our vacant units?
