Everyone! Thank you so much for the help. I learned a ton from you all: especially important to note is the fact that sending in a "proxy" doesn't mean I'm sending a person in my place. Who knew?!

THANK YOU!

Here's what we decided to do: 
- Send in our proxy vote documentation early
- We are sending our cleaner as a 1x year in person to be at the annual meeting in our stead as a show of good faith and that we're interested owners
- If there is a vote on regulating STRs in the future, one of us will fly out to attend. This vote there is nothing specific to STR regulation so we're only sending our cleaner to the annual meeting

Hey @Katie Miller, how far are we talking to get to your place?

Personally I think it might be valuable to show up in person. Show them how much you care about the issues, being a good STR owner etc.

I am not saying sending a proxy is bad, but in person action always sends the right message in these instances.


 Unfortunately we live in Denver and the property is in Florida; so not a feasible/easy trip!

Hello! Looking for advice from other out of state investors who self-manage their properties that are part of an HOA.

I'm new to whole process of investing with a property inside an HOA out of state and looking for insight as to how you send a proxy voter (the proxy is required in-person to vote) for HOA meetings. Do you a send a proxy every time? Do you hire someone random? Do you send your cleaner and pay them separately? If so, how do you compensate them? Do you ignore these votes?

Our HOA is becoming more and more investor UNFRIENDLY and I feel it's important to have a voice at this vote in particular. Even though there isn't anything jarring to my business on the docket per say, I want to show the HOA I'm making an effort to partake as a sign of good faith. An olive branch even.

Unless you think HOA's don't give a crap either way and my participation isn't a sign of good faith.
Curious what your take is or experience is with HOA proxy votes! Thanks!

Edit to add: I live in Colorado but invest in Florida.

What programs or websites are good for collecting rent online from tenants? I'm looking for something cost effective that tenants can log into and pay through an online portal. 

 +1 to everything @Nathan Miller said!! When you sign up for BiggerPockets Pro you can use Stessa and RentRedi to manage all your properties  / collect payments etc. And it's free with Pro. Highly recommend!

Hi all,

I just joined the Bigger Pockets forums and am new to investing. I have one investment property in OK and one in India. Looking to invest in areas for long term cashflow. I am looking for passive investments since I have a full time job which is demanding.

Looking to connect with other forum members and grow my network.


 Welcome to BP! How is investing in India different the US property you have? Curious what the real estate is like over there!


 In India, the growth is primarily from appreciation. Rents are low compared to the purchase value. Also, you need to be very careful and go through known networks (preferably) to avoid illegal paperwork. There are thousands of cases where the same property is sold to multiple people, and you get stuck in legal battles for a long time. If you go through known networks though, and choose the right location, the appreciation could far outpace US appreciation since development is happening at a much faster rate in India. 


 Wow that sounds potentially disastrous! How do you find your trusted network there?
