suspect some only get certain news with alternative facts.

is there another alternative or methods I could be doing to better protect my properties?

Fidelity does not offer alternative investment options so you will need a new custodian if you wish to invest in syndication or other alternative investments.

In years past, buyers frustrated with the competitiveness of the area’s resale market could reliably turn to new construction as an alternative.

Purchase price: $307,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Bought this house as a primary residence for myself, wife and dog. stumbled into househacking by renting out basement to traveling physical therapy students, listened to BiggerPockets, educated ourselves on all thins real estate investing, changed our lives, fully turned property into rental and bought the next one!

Two years into owning the home we stumbled into househacking by renting out basement to traveling physical therapy students, we then started listening to BiggerPockets and educated ourselves on all things real estate investing and got motivated to change our lives!

A key thing to remember is that when you house hack your cash flow will not be as high or may even be non-existent as in my case while you live there but your housing expense is significantly reduced compared to other alternatives.

Another alternative is file an insurance claim and have your insurance company battle it out with the HOA. 

Alternatively, @Sarita Scherpereel would be a good real estate agent for that area.Also, sounds like you need to speak with a lender who understands investing, connect with @Michael Facchini or @Zack Karp, both of them work with investors and set up straight.I am not a fortune teller, but I can tell you are definitely on the right path and a property is in your future hahaReach out if there is any other way we can help you.
