In FL approx how long does it take for a HOA to foreclose assuming they have not filed a judgement yet?

There is a condo with a HOA lien as well as a balance that is not a lien for a monthly payment that goes to a corporation owned by the developer that goes for recreational items.

the other issue i would see is getting it past CCRs in upscale neighborhoods and very firm and rigerous HOAs you have the state mandating it and you have an HOA saying we dont like the way it looks.. :) HOAs cannot legally prevent a homeowner going solar.

Typically a SFR will have slightly better cash flow than a condo due to HOA fees.   

There can be local regulations and HOA to deal with. 

There isn't an HOA or neighborhood association - specifically inquiring about state laws. 

And of course there's the dreaded HOA fee, which often eats away your profits.I would also check to make sure the HOA is in good financial shape and the building doesn't need any major CAPEX right now.

Often times their monthly HOA fees don't tell the full story. 

My family lives in the Bay Area and have the following properties:1.) 5-bedroom SFH (their current home) - comps for similar houses in area are around $2 mil, mortgage is paid off, old house and needs major work if they were to sell2.) 2-bedroom Condo –comps are around $600k, still have $300k remaining in mortgage, currently leasing it out for $2500/month which just barely covers the mortgage payment + HOA, in pretty good condition and needs very little work to sell3.) 3-bedroom SFH – unoccupied and worth about $1 mil+ according to comps, used to take in about $3000/month from previous tenant, needs major work before selling ($200k+) Does anyone have any thoughts on these properties and some general advice on what they should do?

You actually kind of want to be a little negative as far as the IRS is concerned - mortgage principal and cash flow are still income, capital improvements are income, mortgage interest and HOA fees are deductible as well as repairs and maintenance.Colorado state taxes are currently 4.63%, but deductible off of your state taxes in Ohio as well as your feed taxes.
