Fuuuuuuuuuuuck HOA's. I think the bad outweighs the good of those nazi bastards 10 fold. My wifes parents lived in a condo complex on the water in the harbor, real nice place / complex lived in by REALLY uptight assholes. We'd be over there, and I'd park my Suburban in the parking lot and they would freak the fuck out. It was on a 15" lift with 42" swampers and they called it an RV and cited my in laws. Fuckin' cock suckers. It was a whole thing.

I got a ticket from the golf cart police parked in front of my aunt and uncle’s house in my Dooley🤣

We
Live in a small 18 house community in Sw Vegas. Houses are 1.5+ in value. After 6 months a back-and-forth on my 1/2 acre lot trying to build a 1600 square-foot garage addition I was limited to 1050 ft.². Screw that so we bought a 1 acre gated property but a half a mile away that needs a little refurbishing which we’re doing now pretty soon. I’m gonna put my house on the market. I’m gonna find the biggest prick with the most asshole 10+ kids in the world, even if I had the discount the house to come in as new owners. 😎

That would be perfect to place in the add. I bet the response would be un-imaginable. Make sure the neighbors see it and they'll be begging you to buy it. Then you can get extra satisfaction in tell them no......with a polite f.u. on the end.....haha
That would be awesome hilarious.
Make sure they're middle eastern or Chinese too. Shouldn't be hard to find at all either these days. Lol

I LOVE my HOA. I read EVERY document and fought them when I was in the right. Only happened once. LOL. Now they tattle on our tenants so I don’t have to drive out each month to check on the condition of the home. They also keep the trash of the neighbors in check too. Now @Tank & @DRYHEAT is BS that I’d argue with as well.

Just convert it to a section 8 rental or a halfway house for rehab.

I'm the president of my hoa in a little 25 house development. As we are small, we don't have narcs and all that. really its just parking and people trying to do stuff to their homes that isn't allowed, like paint it green and shit.

the puzzling thing to me is that many people don't read the CCR and by laws when they move in and are shocked, shocked I tell ya, when they can't do what they want. its all there in black and white and you singed it when you bought the place.

not saying all hoa are great and there are many horror stories. but you'd be surprised at how the goal of the hoa is just to keep things "nice, uniform, and original"

36 years same location...
HOA dues , went from $50.00 (1987) to $220.00 (current)

no issues, golf carts, guard gate, clubhouse, tennis courts, Basketball, Pickleball, handball, weight room, sauna, Pool, Jacuzzi.....

Landscape surrounding in great shape..

I'd park boat for a few days with no issues... If I needed to wrench on for a week... I'd get a parking pass without issue..

100 homes +/-,

No issues here....


DILLIGAF, might have a different story..LOL

Sounds like a great place….


That reminds me the community that we own in is one of the better looking neighborhoods in the lower price points on Oahu. That was not the case when we bought 30 years ago. However the other close community fizzled out after 15 years and went to sh!t. Now our community is valued more than the other which was the opposite back when we bought. Very lucky as we could not afford the extra money and bought the cheapest home at the time.

I had a battle with my HOA in Cali. The rules from 1984 said there was no advertising on a house allowed. The HOA members interpreted that to mean wrapped vehicles. They started placing stickers on my truck warning me of an impending tow of my vehicle. I told them to tow it and I would goto small claims court and sue them for the fees I would have to pay. This way I would have someone else interpret the rules for them. They never towed my truck. Then they sent me a notice that no commercial vehicles were allowed. Turns out Cali classified Mini vans and SUVs as commercial in the 2000'.

This, absolutely. I hate HOAs and don't think anybody should ever be able to tell me what I can or cannot park in my driveway or what I can do to my property. That's why I'll never live where an HOA exists.

Some people move in, know there are HOA rules, sign the docs, and then want to push back. Makes no sense to me.

Don't sign on to live where the rules are and then cry about them when they no longer suit you. Entitlement and a "rules don't apply to me" attitude at its finest.

Just sold our condo there. They were total douchebags
Place is actually pretty awesome and the pool and views are fantastic. Could be a super cool place. Unfortunately it's all 80 year old uptight asshats screaming "get off my lawn" 90% of the time. This fuckstick relator was the president of the HOA back when my in-laws lived in there. Real piece of shit. Tom something. Douchebag.

If the HOA doesn't limit or restrict overnight rentals, then make sure to market it as a great AirBnB investment opportunity... That will attract the right kind of buyers!

Lol. We were good there Rick. It was a great family place to bring up kids.

Now a couple of neighbors I lit up like Xmas trees. Lol

The one I had in Cave Creek was war though. I told them to fuck off and did what I wanted. They decided to leave me alone after my last episode with them. Lol

That’s a tough one. Ca has a tendency to supersede hoa bylaws when they write these regulations etc.
In our case our HOA said that the state law supersedes the HOA rules and ADU's whether garage conversion or free standing are allowed.

In the early 80s I lived in an HOA controlled subdivision. I routinely parked my 26' Sleekcraft Exec next to the house on a pad I poured.

I began to hear there were multiple complaints to the HOA president about the boat. I heard this from the HOA president, who lived directly across the street from me. She also came over and got drunk with me a few times a month, and went out on the boat too.

Apparently one of my neighbors ratted us out for the number of cars we have. I read the CC&Rs and, as far as I could tell, we were in compliance. I wrote them back, quoting the appropriate section, and never heard back from them.

It is almost impossible to buy a newer house in Sarasota without an HOA. We decided to buy in one that has a professional company that run the HOA. They seam to only follow the by-laws and don't have a bunch of karens running it. It is only 60% built out, so who knows if that will change when the builder is done. It seams most continue with the professional company.

My old boss lived in an HOA where you paid a one time fee when you moved in that was based on a purchase price in an old money part of town.

As usually happen the HOA and some big retired attorney got cross ways over a fence. As the attorney had nothing to do he went back into the by laws of the HOA and found they had forgotten to file the proper paperwork back in the 50's when it was founded. The attorney got all the neighbors on board and sued the HOA for theft of the dues money as the HOA wasn't legally formed and had no basis to collect dues. The HOA ended up going bankrupt

That’s typically how it goes. We ran into that when some owners wanted to put fake grass in front of their homes. Since we wanted to avoid a patch work of fake grass installs we denied the install. They came back with the law that supersedes it, but since the hoa pays for the watering and maintenance of all the homes landscaping in front, they couldn’t argue the spirit of the law that it was to save water/costs during a drought.

So yeah state law does supersede it.

A couple members live by me and probably know this neighborhood, but there is a no HOA tract of homes off of Abelia in French Valley. Multiple houses painted with god awful shades of blue. A lot of overgrown front yards and one that has a giant blue tarp with cement footings covering his driveway. My personal favorite is the guy who cemented his entire front yard and parked his Toy Hauler, diagonally in front of his house.

There is a ton more. Driving through there, I always feel bad for the people who do take pride in their homes.

HOA's may overreach on some things, but if I had to live next to any of that crap?? No thank you!!

My only experience living with an HOA was when we rented in college. Lots of us SDSU kids in there. The complaint department was pretty busy. LOL I would take a baggie of dishwashing liquid down to the jacuzzi in my shorts. We'd hang out and drink a few beers. When a new group showed up I opened up the baggie.....and the bubbles started. Depending on how much I brought, the bubbles could get two feet high. Of course the new people got blamed. LOL

Apparently the maintenance guy never heard of Defoamer, and instead drained the spa. They sent out a letter to everybody. I remained anonymous.


My last experience with an HOA was at the Islander. Way back when, my son had a hookah contraption. I guess those were cool for a hot minute. Someone thought it was a bong and ratted on him. He and his friends were rolling around in the limo golf cart, probably being obnoxious, LOL. The Islander onsite manager dragged him up to the front office to meet the squad car that HPD had sent over.

I heard about it, @pronstar opened his red and blue flashing cop light app on his phone, (LMAO), and we zipped up in the other golf cart to watch what might happen.

The cops laughed at the manager. No weed, no weed smell, no bong water, just that gay bubblegum flavored tobacco crap they smoked. Manager apologized and that was that.

Islander did have a bang on clean up crew though. Chip blasted through the pull through spots in his Rhino , spraying gravel all over the road. Within minutes the Islander Emergency Gravel Response Team showed up. They swept it up, restored gravel order and send the Zamboni Sweeper to make a couple laps in the area.

I like to think the HOA in the Keys is pretty chill. Most of what it exists for, is maintenance. Since the HOA owns the streets, gate, guard shack, parking lot, common areas, landscaping, launch ramps and provides the trash service, most of what the HOA does is make sure all that is maintained. We tried to give the streets to the county, but they are too narrow and probably not up to code. They refused to take them over, so basically we pay to maintain them, repave and reseal them. The lines only leave 17’ to drive through, which is barely passable for two trucks with trailers. This makes it a hazard for emergency vehicles if people are blocking the road, which is the reason why we have lines and parking rules. It’s too narrow for trash pick up so we have to have a common area for trash and pay a maintenance guy to keep the area clean. People literally just throw bags over the wall and leave shit everywhere. Not to mention the amount of mattresses they throw on top of the dumpsters that we have to pay to haul off.

The Keys couldn’t operate without an HOA. We don’t have any rules regarding architecture or paint colors. Basically if you meet the setbacks and height, you can do what you want.

You described my family perfectly. I’d love a Vegas house. Let me know how you want the 300k budget we have. 😊
