And with your name on the account, it's pretty much an open and shut case for the HOA.  

I was trying to qualify as a "real estate professional" for the tax benefits, but our CPA shut us down, one if use would have to work in real estate more hours a week than our regular job.Now I'm thinking of starting a "property management business" to manage our rentals, to take advantage of business deductions.So, I guess my questions are.

Look for walking distance amenities, younger crowds want ease of accessibility to restaurants ect.  

We could face vacancies and/or have to lower the rent and carry a loss for a while.it seems that property values should eventually go up, if the downtown gets nicer, busier, has more jobs, restaurants, retail, etc.  

What would be the most important factors playing into the decision process of a franchise restaurant considering using an option to prolong their NN(N) lease of a property?

3)I completely agree on the pool heater.This was the first item we really tried to push back on.The only reason we tried to push back on it is because in a face to face conversation about the tenant when we were trying to get a company to fix the heater she stated “It’s no big deal if they can’t fix it”.So I figured based on her statement that they could live without it and if that was the case of course I didn’t want to pour a bunch of money into it.Once she expressed (in about 3 separate scathing emails) how important the heater was to them, we had it fixed within 10 days.Even after having it fixed they still tried to get us to buy them a full tank of propane ($300) which we said no to of course.4)I’m not sure I understand your statement here.Everything except the pool heater was in good condition and as stated above we fixed the heater just as soon as we found out how important it was to them.They want to maintain the pool themselves which is a no go to us because we don’t want them messing with the pump and filter on their own.They clearly don’t know what they are doing.It seems to us that this is just another thing they are trying to use to get a reduced rent.Again, I appreciate your input and for making me step back to see it in their perspective.I still think that every time they have said “jump”, we say “how high”, and deliver what they want.I didn’t even mention in my original post that we let them borrow our lawnmower in lieu of charging them for bi-weekly lawn service.I’m kicking myself now about doing that and wondering if I can get the lawnmower back.It wasn’t stated in the lease that we would provide it for them.I also didn’t mention that upon move in we gave them a $50 gift card to a nice restaurant.I’m sure this is fairly standard, but just pointing out that the extremes we have gone to in order to have a good relationship.They asked upon moving in if we had any suggestions on area attractions for them and their kids since they are new to town.I spent 2-3 hours typing up about 3 pages worth of attractions (zoo, hiking trails, golf, museums, restaurants, etc) complete with contact info and directions to give to them.When I look back on it, what have I not done for them except have the home inspected by a professional inspector before move in to identify any problems (to landlords ever do this??).

Of is A going to find out about the buyer's involvement (electronically), get concerned about his exposure and call it over-leverage to justify abruptly shutting down the previously approved loan and turning A apart?

A server at a good restaurant or pizza driver can make around 30k to 60k a year if they hustle.

Do this a few times and these people will either shut up or disappear.
