10 things a HOA won’t tell you
Yahoo Finance has as a rather alarmist article on 10 Things a Homeowners Association Won’t Tell You (via Galen). They are:
- “We Can’t Wait to Get Our Hands on Your Money — Or Even Your Home.”
- “We’re More Secretive Than the CIA.”
- “When in Doubt, We Sue.”
- “You Won’t Be Able to Sell When You Want.”
- “We’re Poorer Than We Look.”
- “We Can Make Up the Rules as We Go Along.”
- “We Don’t Want You at Our Meetings.”
- “We’re in Over Our Heads.”
- “We Work for Nothing but Get Compensated in Other Ways.”
- “We’re Incredibly Petty.”
Does this line up with people’s experiences? I haven’t done this whole condo thing long enough to know if should be running to a single family dwelling or not.
