The HOA at The Franciscan is steep -- close to $1,000/month, but they cover most all utilities, including WiFi. And  the cost of the units is cheap -- in recent years, most have sold for $200k or less (several have sold over the years in the mid-$200k range, and the highest sale was a 1-bedroom that fetched $345k during the last recession). And rental income defrays the costs of ownership.
