If a lot of owners don't pay their dues, the common pool might become too dirty to swim in, the fitness equipment might break down and become unusable, the clubhouse might not operate as efficiently, at the end the paying owners might have to pay a lot higher than they should to keep things running.

Andrew Johnson “I use Appfolio out of santa barbara, ca its definitely not free and my property mgmt company passes those costs down to me which I think is around 50-60 bucks a month based on number of units under the service.I am able to see all reports from rent rolls, cash flow statements / trailing 12 month cash flow, tenant ledgers, maintenance requests, dialog between tenants and mgmt staff, resolutions to maintenance requests, move in pictures, move out pictures, or video, and many more features.What I like is that it allows the vendors to be in a dialog/text/chat box so they are prepared (vendor) prior to job assignment with lockbox codes, scope of work and pictures before they even go to the site so we dont waste time figuring things out and run up a huge $$$ bill for lack of efficiency.”

Yes the cost per barrel of oil has risen, but at the same time the efficiency in the use of that barrel has increased.

Thanks for the advice on communication between the owner and myself.

I filed on the 31st at the courthouse and I'm sure he will be served anytime between today and Wednesday.He doesn't know I filed, should I communicate that he needs to find another place to live?

While it may not be the most efficient way of marketing it doesn't mean it doesn't work!

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.

HE has taken rents for over a year and paid nobody, ignored all communication attempts and we have now resorted to attorneys to try and rescue our clients money if we can.

Permanent residents are not complaining.The efficient utilization of  these assets can prevent the construction of large hotels, which are even more inefficient in the off season, and provide a less interesting and more expensive experience for the traveler.As Azita said, STRs are likely to have better maintenance inside and out.

A private suit, not the DA, is the most efficient way to get the money back, although I would pursue both civil and criminal avenues.
