I did not receive any notice of these violation due to the HOA letters were sent to my rental property, but I'm not sure if my tenants actually received notice either, if they never opened any of these HOA letters. 2- In an attempt to prevent future violations, I asked my tenants to hide their trash cans inside the garage or in the backyard.

I started off basically dropping off notes, texting, etc, and I've had two situations now blow up because that one-way style lost a lot of subtext that would have prevented the situation from escalating. 

Ned,Do you mean the property owner is best protected by the state to prevent/delay/give notice for the sale....and then the chance to redeem?

Assuming this doesn't destroy your DTI and prevent you from getting the refi....

You already know the beauty of your baby but if you want to improve you need to be ready to listen to your mistakes in order to prevent them and fix them.Remember the goal to flipping is to make money.

I have seen huge growth in 'homeless prevention' programs in our area - basically social services tenants can go to who receive a 3-day notice, but that's about all that has had a material effect I can see.Matthew Desmond advocates for housing vouchers for anyone that earns less than say, $30k/yr.

that was a big concern i had as well.. maxing out credit cards might even prevent me from getting the refi in the first place.The HELOC was my next option. but I know hardly anything about the product so I didn't want to rush in to something that I'm uneducated about.a little more about the property: we got keys for 200k and it appraised for 220k at close. we put about 20k in repairs already and hoping to do a 10k kitchen update as well as put some finishing touches on bathrooms. this was a year and a half ago. comps are now showing from 250k-300k. along with the cash out I'm wanting to buy another property.

Actually my question about passing my wife's share to my daughter was meant to ask if my wife's being a shareholder in the LLC prevented the LLC from using the maintenance and improvements as LLC expense would transferring her share to our daughter allow it.  

You could use the same argument for management companies that could manage dozens or even hundreds of homes for a single organization… what’s to prevent them from pushing their larger client’s properties ahead of yours?
