I'm not sure I understand or even want to understand the technical terminology above, but I think ownership by the HOA is essential to ensuring that they take appropriately responsible actions in respect to the unit. It is too easy for people to shrug and say what can we do? They own it. It's out of our hands. On the other hand, not all communities include experts at locating available resources for supporting rental units. And there is the issue of increasing limitations of conventional bank financing which uses rented units in condominiums as an indication of stress. If the HOA owns the units and rents them purposefully, the banks should be satisfied that this is a different situation. No absentee owners.
