During around the time of the real estate crash (2008-09) the HOA board voted against allowing rentals.

I've been lucky enough to have bought two properties during "real estate crashes" and have cashed out on one, while holding the other.

here is the whole truth  from the  company they purchased the property fromVOTESNo votes yet Sherri Wilson from Vickery, Ohioreplied about 3 hours agoAs a representative of Sierra Real Estate Services I would like to clear up these accusations.Beth and her husband purchased a property that was currently under renovations, and when they arrived to see the property made numerous changes to the renovations and fully expected the price to remain the same.

It sounds as though you may need a crash course on LLC Compliance from a local attorney experienced with the Rules of California.

Sellers with mostly park owned homes will arrive at a much higher asking price since they cap rate the home rent as well as the lot rent.  

Remember the crash of '07?

Purchase is it AT A DISCOUNT so that you know you will make money when your ready to sell (barring a huge real estate market crash).

We the missing data becomes available, then the applicant can be reviewed at that time.During the vetting process, comments from prior landlords may get delayed or may never arrive from a voice mail message you leave - - does that freeze your review process - - IMO, never. 

So the best time to buy is in or right after a crash...  

I think if you are off to rent you won't need to spend so much to update but when the day you want to sell arrive you will need a much more aggressive interior remodel.
