That's more than my mortgage.HOA dues are $505 per month.
What do get for $550 a month?Good and bad come with HOA's. The problem I have found with them is that they can and do go up. Lots of them are mismanaged. The higher the HOA, the lower the property value is in general. Working with a client now who likes a particular townhouse complex.....HOA dues are $505 per month. It is a really desirable complex. They up their buying power by over $100K if they didn't buy in that particular complex. I'd try to avoid them if I can.
Grass cut and sidewalk shoveled?What do get for $550 a month?
$505 per month gets you a gated community, nicely maintained grounds, a clubhouse with a hot tub, pool and weight room.....also a big room to have parties in. Most HOA's maintain and insure the exterior of all units. The owner still needs to insure the interior walls, whats inside of those walls and all personal items.What do get for $550 a month?
You are correct! You would have to sue them personally or as a group but the Attorney fees will have to paid by you as well! I have that now our HOA will not let anyone see the checking acct statements. The HOA takes in almost $3,000 a year we don’t have any green space we just have 9 mailbox stands that won’t take 5 cubic yards of mulch and it’s only done every 3rd year. Its been in existence for 30 years With there should be say $70k there’s only $2,500. It’s rumored that the HOA President purchased a pontoon boat and keeps it at a year round slip and covered storage during winter. When I brought this up to other owners they say well it’s only $50 to $100 a year and it ain’t worth it then I give them the totals I gave above and their shocked but no one has got on board. Oh even though the HOA is a state entity the SOS will not prosecuteDo you live in one? Have any interesting stories regarding one? I see 80% of new homes are built in subdivisions with an HOA. Looks like little to no state or federal regulation on them either.
If I read that just right, you can get in trouble anywhere for doing that.Where would I chase the wife around the yard?
That's either someone with a drug problem or a married man with a young girlfriend!I have a cabin in an HOA......the bank account is empty and the Sheriff is on the hunt for the Treasurer...lol
Same hereI now live in a HOA. It’s only for private road maintenance. No rules on house paint or junk vehicles or animals.
Do they like nudie beaches?It is a married woman with a boy friend......but close
How do you get HOA on private road? Curious because I want this to happen on our road.I now live in a HOA. It’s only for private road maintenance. No rules on house paint or junk vehicles or animals.
You'd want everyone who uses that private road to buy into the HOA idea and contribute $$ to make necessary repairs and maintenance.How do you get HOA on private road? Curious because I want this to happen on our road.
You. Yes.Ok, but who enforces the HOA? Like if they don't pay do they lose their home?
You'd create a "Board" and they are the powers that be on keeping everyone in line. I don't think a homeowner can lose their home by not paying the dues but the HOA can put a lien on the property.Ok, but who enforces the HOA? Like if they don't pay do they lose their home?
No i havent. I was joking.You'd create a "Board" and they are the powers that be on keeping everyone in line. I don't think a homeowner can lose their home by not paying the dues but the HOA can put a lien on the property.
@GrouseLegs...have you experienced an HOA forcing a sale in order to satisfy an HOA lien? That would be nuts.
Most HOA's also have the power to fine non-compliant members of the Association. Severity and limits are written into the CC&R's.You'd create a "Board" and they are the powers that be on keeping everyone in line.

WOW eel…….. have you checked into a place on the panhandle of Florida lately? Palms for redwoods might not be too bad a trade. Redfish for halibut don’t sound all that bad. Louisiana has ducks too.A little excitement at my two sisters' residence this afternoon. I asked her if the HOA repairs bullet holes.

I just got my woodshed full for next winter so I can't move now. But don't worry, if I do move it won't be to Utah.WOW eel…….. have you checked into a place on the panhandle of Florida lately?

Smart. Florida has salt water and police. Utah’s salt water…… not good. Police…… busy!I just got my woodshed full for next winter so I can't move now. But don't worry, if I do move it won't be to Utah.
The HOA actually owns the roads. We have 16 miles of dirt road. Every year we rent a grader and haul crushed gravel to blade in. This is rural Montana.How do you get HOA on private road? Curious because I want this to happen on our road.
I hear Wyoming has nice winters.I just got my woodshed full for next winter so I can't move now. But don't worry, if I do move it won't be to Utah.
My hoa has a shared well and owns and operates the water and sewer infrastructure. Thats the reason to pay to put up with even more crap.Can’t pick your neighbors. Why pay extra to put up with even more crap?
