I looked at a house and was ready to bid on it but when double checking the property appraiser's records against my inspection notes for my properties the facts didn't match up for that one.

Interior and exterior paint colors to match accessories?...

David -Everything you say makes perfect sense...The situations where people I know tend to prefer HOAs are communities where there typically aren't any rental restrictions and where there typically aren't many rentals because the home values are well above where it would make sense for most homeowners to rent out there properties.For example, $500K+ communities in areas where the typical SFH would sell for less than $200K.

@Kelly Williams ,They gave you perfect information to think about.

Congratulations @Bob CYou can say something I can't "I've made money on every investment deal I ever done" I hope you continue to have a perfect track record - Ned

Previous years revenue is not that appealing, thus I have negotiated the below for the new contract. 1) New Energy efficient machine will be installed. 2) Coin Match will collect the cost of 1 cycle per machine per day and the remaining will be paid to the owner.

Rent currently is $690 but could probably match the $900 Zillow predicts.Following the 1% rule: 1% of ARV is $1270 a month.

I am thinking something dark to match the floor, like a charcoal color.

When you go to any Real Estate meetings, you may want to get there early and ask whoever runs it, if there's any way they could match you up with someone experienced, who is where you'd like to be in a year.

For now this seems to match my current situation/investing goals the best.
