					  <description><![CDATA[New lending guidelines from HUD mean that FHA loan requirements will be significantly tightened for condominium sales. The new requirements could have a profoundly negative effect on the ability to sell or buy a condominium unit that requires FHA financing. It&#8217;s estimated that the vast majority the condominiums in New England will not meet the new guidelines, and unless they move quickly to comply they could see their property values directly impacted.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Since the board of a community association is usually composed of a collective group of unique individuals with their own
&nbsp;perspective and opinions, no two boards are ever the same. However, there are
&nbsp;certain overall, universal qualities that can either make or break a board, and
&nbsp;these are traits that everyone involved should emulate so things run smoothly.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Chris D&#8217;Errico has handled about 1,000 residential rentals in the Boston area since
&nbsp;2003. These days, more and more of his calls are from condominium owners.
&nbsp;Unable to find buyers for their homes, they&#8217;re turning to renting them. &#8220;It&#8217;s up about 50 percent from last year,&#8221; says D&#8217;Errico, the president of Greater Boston Properties in Winchester, Massachusetts.
&nbsp;&#8220;It&#8217;s a good thing.&#8221;

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The drawbacks of serving on a board are well known. For one thing, it&rsquo;s a lot of work. Hours of work, of poring over spreadsheets, of talking to
&nbsp;property managers and vendors and residents and tenants when you could be
&nbsp;watching the big game. And what compensation do you get for all your blood,
&nbsp;sweat and tears? Not a penny. Up front, that&rsquo;s a lousy deal&mdash;labor and emotional investment with no reward.
