There's not much margin in it, and it's more of a favor or good will gesture, so I want to make sure I minimize my risk going into this.Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!

I've heard of many homeowner association problems over the years and am working on, and looking for, possible solutions that would tip the balance of power more in favor of the owner and the democratic concept of due process when issues arise.

We had strong relationships with local banks to provide favorable acquisition and construction financing.The acquisition fits within our goals of owning complexes over 50 units.

In the end, a lot of things worked in my favor, and perfect timing in the market that I can't attribute to anything more than luck, but it really gave me the confidence to move foreword.

I'm still in favor of you looking into doing a deed in lieu.

@Dan Favor - I'm a combo investor/Realtor in small-town, rural TN.

Rent, deposit, Section 8 yes/no, min income, pets, smoking, $$$ required to move in, no evictions/felonies, favorable references, etc.The less mindless phone calls I can field, the better.

I know that Im not doing myself any favors by renting, know I have to buy.

I am seeking information of cities and towns in MA that are more favorable and show more upside for buying and renting out the properties.

Showing the lender what kind of shape the home is in would be a big momentum shift in your favor.
