@evancombs5159 Ай бұрын

I would alter this to say for single family detached homes. When it comes to condos, apartments, and other types of dwellings that share a building an HOA makes sense. In those cases, the HOAs should have similar oversight and reporting procedures as public companies.

Turns out the construction on the units was sandbox quality, making the need for not only the roof but all the hidden construction problems exposed when re- roofing.

The HOA that was managing my grandparents housing development was literally communist. They foreclosed on the neighbors home over landscaping of their front yard. That was requiring the contractor to park his equipment on the curb outside the front of their property... So They kept sighting and ticketing them. Well they put a foreclosure notice on the 4th time around. They wound up fighting it out in court for like two years. Because the first judge sided with the HOA and forced them out but upon appeal they won in a higher Court. Then the HOA appealed that decision and lost. HOAs are nothing but legal loophole headaches that violate your constitutional rights.

There was NO notification until I suddenly received a letter at MY house in a different state informing me of the back dues and a lien in the home! They claimed they didn't know my mother had died but somehow were able to inform a lawyer of MY address when I never gave them that information? Ok, no problem, I'll pay the back dues...

If you feel up to it, talk to people in the neighborhood about not only the HOA but other possible issues.

@MaryBethMcCoy Ай бұрын

You are absolutely correct. It is the homeowners responsibility to know what the CC&Rs say: what the rules are, and especially how falling in arrears on dues and assessments are handled by the HOA before purchasing. When you purchase a home in an HOA, it is critical that you know what you are committing to before signing the contract. You absolutely must make the effort and do your due diligence to find out as much as possible about the HOA, its financial health and management. Prospective buyers usually are given copies of the CC&Rs and current HOA financial statement prior to closing on a home. It is your responsibility to review the information.

HOA was created by local/county/state governments. The local governments didnt want to build and maintain infrastructure such as roads/water/sewer/parks. so they created this organization structure called HOAs, and make mid/large size developers form HOA and pay and maintain the infrastructure. over time just like any government, HOA turned into helIish nightmare since the people that seek power and control over others actively seeked positions on the HOA council. most HOA have a tight core power group that runs the HOA like their little private kingdoms.

So just under $100 a year. Which gave us access to 2 neighborhood club houses and pools in our neighborhood and the one next to us. Rules where very laxed and the homes stayed nice. Roads and streetlights where the city's problem and the HOA only took care of the the clubhouse and pool and around the exterior perimeter fence. Everyone was required to have a privacy fence. If you had a trailer it went behind your fence. Same with non working cars or your boat storage. You could build ur fence up to the sidewalk. So some built side fence up to the sidewalk to store RVs boats and projects down one side of the property behind a privacy fence. No body fenced their whole front yard even tho you could.

Another thing in FL is that recently I was going to buy a house to live in, BUT i noticed in the budget that for some unexplained reason, the HOA was collecting about 3-4k per month on late fees in a community that has about 200 houses. When I saw that number, I'm like "That can't be right; your telling me that most people living here are behind or paying late"? So a requested the minutes and spoke with 2 or 3 homeowners I saw walking and what they told me that when they send their checks via mail, the HOA BANK/ALWAYS claims they never get the checks and if the owner is not checking if it was cashed, they will add a late fee of 35 buck. On top of that late fee they charge like a 5% convenient fee to pay online and if you end up paying with a Credit card to prevent the late payment fee, they will add and even bigger convenience fee to the transaction. One of the people I spoke with told me that he had sent a check with a month of anticipation and they will still cash after due date charge the extra fees and not even consider that the checks was sent with a month of anticipation.
