Investing in Property:

Main Property Rental ConsiderationsBe fully aware of any HOA or Condo Association restrictions/limitations on renting out the property, such as minimum rental period, maximum number of rented out days, any permission required, etc…. You will probably want to consider a longer term lease for more stability and better long-term maintenance of the property. You should also be aware of the % of units in a condo that are rented out, since that could be a factor in getting mortgage approval of the condo. Also, you should be aware of any tax requirements that may be due on rental income to the city/county. In many condo buildings that are heavily occupied by full time owners or non-renting owners, there could be more neighborhood pressure against renters (like heavily enforced rules and fines)
