    I hate HOA's as well. However, $83 doesn't sound too bad. $79,900 is small enough mortgage to handle if you had to pitch in with payments once in a while. And the beach locale and size is a plus!
    Always plan for the worst and hope for the best. (i.e. have a few months mortgage saved up).
    Like I said, judgement call. I would do it if I had your sons.
