I was going to mention that as well but have debated the pro vs. con of HOAs on this and other blogs many times… Luckily my HOA has been reasonable and it is easy to follow the rules while maintaining a nice area; however, next time I buy it will be non-HOA, even if my neighbor does decide to grow corn on the front lawn.[/quote]
Lucky I bought in a non-HOA area, because if it has HOA, they wouldn’t be happy with me one bit while I’m going through the process of remodeling my house. Hopefully by the time I’m done, everything will be nice and updated, but right now, everything is in such disarray.
