If rent can’t comfortably cover mortgage, HOA, taxes, insurance, and some repair cushion, you’re subsidizing the property while also taking on the risk of future fee increases or assessments.Also look at the HOA’s financial health — reserves, upcoming projects, and assessment history matter more than online value estimates right now.If the numbers don’t make sense and fees keep trending up, that’s a structural issue, not just a temporary market dip.
