I've sought help from people living in HOAs in the City-Data Forum but have yet to receive a reply. 

Well, long and behold I received a text this morning from my tenant stating that her son has bites all over his body (all happened last night which was her first night sleeping there since).

I haven't had mine challenged in court, so I can't directly speak to that, however the guidance on this that I have received is that the reason they are challenged in court is because people don't treat them like a business. 

To summarize, it says a “Real estate broker means a person who, for another and for compensation or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation Sells, exchanges, options, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, option, purchase, rental or lease of, or lists or solicits prospective purchasers, lessees or renters of, any real estate or the improvements thereon or any modular homes, used manufactured homes, used mobile homes or other housing offered or conveyed with any interest in real estate" This is black and white - if you try to sell a house you do not own, you are brokering.

A lot of times they feel they are in grey area and haven't received any direction from the new landlord/ owner.

Keep records of the monthly payments you receive. 8.

If the tenant damages a place badly, that could jeopardize their ability to continue to receive section 8 benefits.  

Can anyone please give me some advice as to roughly what rental return I could expect to receive from a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Condo I am looking at buying in Michigan Ave, Chicago IL?

Id recommend setting up some keyword alert for "Maryland" whenever its mentioned you will receive a notification.
