[quote=no_such_reality]Is the roof repair project already under way?
I lived in a complex of duplex town homes. Typical wood frame 70s construction with shake roofing. This is back in 2000, his was mid-200s, reserve was in excess of $10k per unit in reserve up to date and it wasn’t enough after the grand gaming was done. We forked out an additional $4k plus special assessment for unanticipated “u foreseeable” damage beyond sample home test Bs
Final roofing bill to replace shake with asphalt shingles totaled about $30-35k per duplex which amounted to a roof on a two story 3000 sf house
Really seemed excessive. And IMHO standard HOA market seems to be 100% over private owner price[/quote]
I know this sounds cynical, but I truly believed the HOA officers for our first house in SD were in it just to send work to their friends and my guess is they were reimbursed in kind. The worst is if there is litigation involved and fees start spiraling out of control. No HOAs for us anymore ….
