1901 W. 3rd Street PRICE: $1,210,000 MLS 201651146

A unique combination of three land parcels that because of the plottage and location gives any developer a golden opportunity to expand on a pre-approved City/County commercial project with various scenarios for retail shopping, restaurants, professional offices, apartments and out lots. Extremely well engineered plans completed for drainage, parking, and ingress / egress from West Third Street and Cory Lane.

This is a rare opportunity located between I-69 exit and near downtown. Location, Zoning and address Plans available for review. This listing currently contains 3 parcels with three different addresses. The main address is listed but the listing includes 2 separate parcels on Cory Ln making the ingress and egress to the property much easier considering W. 3rd St. is a one way going East.

104 E. 19th Street PRICE: $349,900 MLS 201832303

1901 W. 3rd Street PRICE: $229,900 MLS 201831818

If you're looking for a medical/dental office, commercial space for a hair/nail salon, restaurant, retail space or any other office space, this building could be just what you're looking for! The current owners bought this building for restaurant space but couldn't find anyone to come to Indiana and run it, so plans have changed. However, this space comes with a full set of blueprints for a restaurant and they have a survey on file. The project has already been approved by the city and since the property is zoned commercial arterial, the possibilities are endless. The current owners also put on a new roof after they bought this property. This property was previously used as a dental office and is still set up for that. However, there is a kitchen, 1 1/2 baths and 5 rooms that could easily be turned into bedrooms so this would make a great student rental. There is plenty of parking in the rear of the property. There might even be the possibility of tearing down the existing structure and building a multi-level complex. By doing some refurbishment, this space could make a nice 5 bedroom student rental that could easily rent for $650 to $700 per bedroom or $3,250 to $3,500 per month. Bring your investors and your imagination or ask me for some ideas. I have plenty of ideas for this property.

This is a Bloomington Landmark formerly known for many years as "Swing In Pizza".

The building is in need of refurbishment but according to City Planning, you can refurbish the commercial space and stay grandfathered on the setbacks as well as, build a 4 unit apartment building on the back side of the existing structure. This property comes with 2 lots. The second is known as 1329 N. Woodburn Ave. An ideal use for this property would be to raise the ceiling height by putting a new pitched roof on the existing structure with a drive-through for the commercial space. The city has already verbally agreed to this idea as well as adding 4 residential units on the Woodburn lot with parking on the east and west ends of the building for the tenants. We have the ideas and will to make it happen, all we need is the Buyer.

750 S. Walnut Street PRICE: $115,900 MLS 201804771

321 S. Sale Street, Ellettsville PRICE: $109,900 MLS 201749018

Commercial zoned property grandfathered to be a residence. Owner has lived in this home for 28 years and is ready to retire in a condo soon. This would make a great investment for someone who wanted to live downtown at an affordable price. Also a great place for a hair/nail salon or office space for your small business.

Cable Available, Chair Rail, Countertops-Laminate, Detector-Smoke, Disposal, Dryer Hook Up Electric, Pantry-Walk In, Stand Up Shower, Main Level Bedroom Suite

Lobbying for change in your homeowners association’s rules requires procedure, compromise, and perhaps joining the board.

By Blanche Evans

When You Don’t Like the Rules

If you live in a newer suburban community or planned unit development, you — like some 63 million other Americans, according to the Community Associations Institute — are probably a member of a homeowners a ssociation. It’s also a good bet that you haven’t given your HOA much thought until you have a problem.

Some boards can impose what some homeowners believe are invasive, silly, or elitist rules. In 2014, a Myrtle Beach association decided homeowners could have only two pets. A couple who’d had three dogs for the past 14 years were threatened with a $100 a day fine unless they got rid of one of their dogs.

Since HOAs make and enforce the community rules, it’s smart to understand what you can do if you can’t or don’t want to follow them.

HOA Facts Each HOA, a volunteer group of neighbors who manage common areas and community property, creates its own covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). These CC&Rs cover: • Resident behavior (no glass containers around the pool) • Architecture (no fences higher than 8 feet) • Common responsibilities (fee schedules and fines for non-compliance) Average annual dues for a homeowners association is $396, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And there’s value in the fee. A 2005 study, which appeared in the Cato Institute’s “Regulation” magazine, compared a group of Washington, D.C., area HOA properties with similar homes without community benefits — a total of about 12,000 homes. The HOA house values were found to be 0.54% higher. That’s $969 on the average U.S. home value of $179,500.

There’s even an older story some years back, reported in news outlets, about a homeowner in an upscale gated community in Frisco, Texas, who was threatened with fines for parking his new Ford F-150 series truck in his driveway overnight. The board made exceptions for several luxury brands, but his mid-range truck was ruled “not classy enough.”

Even if you disagree with the rules, keep paying your dues. HOAs have broad legal powers to collect fines and fees and regulate activities. If you don’t respond to letters from the board, property manager, or a collection agency, the HOA can and will turn to small claims court or file a lien against your property.

You can handle some issues with a phone call. For example, adding recycling to the garbage collection route is a budget, not a rules, issue. Call the board member who oversees trash collection to find out if there’s leeway in the budget. If you want to do something that’s against the rules — like flying the American flag in your yard — start by: • Making a written request for variance, using the appropriate HOA form in your CC&R documents. A variance gives you permission to be the exception to the rule. Submit your request to the board and property management company.

HOME finder.org Feature • Seeking a compromise: That you’d like to fly the American flag, but only on national holidays.

Don’t Expect a Quick Solution Some HOA boards meet as little as twice a year. If the board decides the issue is worth pursuing, it may require a community vote. If it passes a majority, the board will adopt it. Board members also may consult the HOA attorney to see if there’s a legal liability if they rule against you.

If you don’t get a timely response, request a hearing and resubmit your request for variance with as much support for your cause as possible.

professional expertise to work: Assist the board with data entry, accounting, or website design.

Stand for election to the board. When a position becomes open, the board notifies the members, and you can put your name forward. New board members are elected at the annual meeting by member majority vote. Many boards are three to nine members large, with terms of one to two years.

Involvement Drawbacks As a board member, be prepared to spend two to four hours a month: • Reviewing property management reports

If the board rules against you without a community vote, you can appeal the ruling with a petition signed by a majority of other homeowners.

• Monitoring budgets • Talking to other board members and residents

Fine Reality But if you fly your flag without permission, expect to get fined. Fines can range from a nominal $25 to a painful $100 or more depending on the issue. Your CC&Rs will indicate the fine schedule — per day, per incident, etc. Interest for nonpayment can accrue, and the HOA can sue you in small claims court.

If you feel the ruling or the fines are unjust, the last resort is to hire an attorney and sue the HOA, as a flag-flying couple did in 1999. They battled their HOA in court for nine years before the case was settled in their favor.

Most boards meet quarterly; small boards only meet twice a year for a couple of hours.

Accept that you might become less popular if homeowners don’t like your decisions. In the worst case, you could be sued, along with the rest of the association.

Involvement Benefits But there are rewards. You’ll feel more in control of your community’s fate. You may find that some rules you didn’t support have merit after all. But most of all, you’ll know you’re doing all you can to protect your quality of life and your home’s value.

Become the Rule-Maker If you don’t like the rules, the best way to change them is to become part of the process.

Know your CC&Rs, annual budget, and employee contracts. Do you see areas where expenses can be cut? Are service providers doing their jobs?

Volunteer for a committee or task. If the board needs to enforce parking rules, for instance, you can volunteer to gather license plate numbers of residents’ vehicles. In addition, put your
