The roi mentioned might be nice, but isn't likely long term, because the seller is leaving off a couple of key items - maintenance (beyond mowing the lawn), and vacancy.

I asked for keys, the title company didn't have them.

Steven B's quote rings true...for everyone on this board, even Steven B!

My advice would be to first submit a letter to the Board through the association's management explaining the exact steps you took and quoting the specific rules you used to justify your building the fence (amazed at how many board members don't actually know their own rules), include copies of your sent e-mails with the dates as proof, then call or personally speak to the manager to verify receipt of your letter and ask that they send copies to all board members and request that you be heard on this subject at the next meeting's new business.

However, the first thread on the first page was from one month ago, the second thread was from 2 years ago, and all the other threads on the next few pages were all over the board (3 years old, 5 months old, 1 year old, etc).I'm sure there's a logical reason for this, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Throw in a stove, fridge, and ouija board.

In a short sale if you are missing a few key pieces the whole transaction falls apart or you start over and lose the buyer to frustration with the process.

I think a good CPA that *you* are comfortable chatting with & bouncing ideas off of is a key part of your business, just like a great attorney, or a great plumber.

I have strong support/proof for why this second one should be lowered, so I took it to the next level and filed a formal appeal requesting a hearing with the Assessment Appeals Board.

It may depend on the installer, but my installer will be using cement board with masonry screw and I heard you want to put thin-set between the wood sub-floor & cement board as well as between the tile & cement board.Thanks.
