Our first purchase was a condo and when we left, I specifically looked for a home with no HOA. I was tired of the board bickering and the nonesense that went on. There weren’t many new homes without an HOA, but we found one and bought it. Really loved it. For about five years.
Then the motor homes, motorcycles, garage doors painted three colors, dilapidated vehicles, and yes commercial vehicles started slowly invading until I had finally had enough.
Our latest purchase has an HOA. Though it can be a pain when we get a violation letter, I can tell you without a doubt it is about the nicest looking neighborhood in the city. We’re here to stay and I’ll gladly take care of a few violation notices instead of living in Redneck Estates.
