The risk of abuse of power is too high.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I lived in an hoa years ago. Never again. The "cons" are far too long to list here, but I've seen enough.

Yes. You should avoifd an HOA. All it takes is enough bad neighbors to make what was your chill HOA a hellscape.

I agree. Saw a 2bed 2bath wonderful location listed for 180k but HOA fee of 825 a month. In my old neighborhood the HOA cost went up to 100 a month and I hated the HOA there. They abuse their power and work like the mob. I will avoid HOAs. Their fees increase every year. Never give people that much uncontrolled power it always corrupts. My new house isn't part of a HOA thank god.

Just remember this simple phrase: "When you buy a house in an HOA, you don't own that house, you are pretty much renting."

Living in an HOA for over 20 years I do not like HOA. I am paying my hard-earned money for somebody to tell me what to do on my property. That does not make sense. My HOA had the NERVE to raise or dues 20% this year without a vote from the homeowners because they could. Then the HOA makes excuses, they cannot fix the parking lot pavement, have not fixed the garage roofs in decades, and taking out the cameras. When someone did a check on the finances of HOA some of the money was missing.

They can take away your own home from you. Why would you want an HOA who has so much control over your own property??!

@mejsjalv 6 күн бұрын

The pros do not outweight the cons. Or maybe I'm just used to living in a public street without anybody trying to enforce their opinions as if they were laws.However, I'm not from the USA, but I've seen that HOA systems and usually the people don't have much complains, and the common amenities are very well kept and useful.

We are at the point of contacting state government to remove our building from the HOA. Our lawyer/president should have her law license revoked and a formal complaint is going against the bar on her soon for racism, extreme prejudice, falsifying documents and conduct unbecoming a lawyer or board member..

People will avoid a house because it is part of an HOA or avoid one because it isn't part of an HOA. Pick your poison I chose no HOA.

Try paying thousands for landscaping and having bald spots, hundreds of weeds and the grass cut too short to thrive. Then complaining to the board and having them order you not to touch the grass or talk to the landscapers.

My HOA is ony $100/yr. They maintain the landscaping at the front entrances, retention pond, and installed some additional streetlight. General rules are mow and no parking vehicles or boats on your yard. Very low-key and benefits the neighborhood

Try having a cartel of four people in real estate (lawyer, plumber, developer, investor) give each other the right to do whatever they want but when anyone else does, they are immediately met with by law boilerplate BS to threaten to fine them and put liens on their house.

@madant22 5 ай бұрын

I thought they send workers to clean and maintain your property and house. Grass etc.

@AttackOnTitanlover1999 3 ай бұрын

I’d rather just keep my house night nice and neat then deal with a HOA that could possibly be good or bad not risking it and they if they ever come into my door I’m never gonna open the door simple as that

They can fine you anytime they want and put a lean on your house.

@sinayhernandez621 2 ай бұрын

Well why are they telling you that you need to cut your grass if you are paying them they should cut it.

@eile4219 2 ай бұрын

buyers paid more for no HOA house in area. Maybe it's just depends on cities. I guess there are some people who would pay for more for an HOA house in other part of the countries.
