I do not have an HOA to contend with, although in some instances, sometimes I wish I did. I get perturbed with the way some neighbors have maintained their property, since it detracts from the entire neighborhood and lowers everyone's property value. That being said, I am glad I don't have any monthly fees to pay and nobody to tell me "how white my shorts should be". I just want my cake and to eat it too.
BTW, I have not bought very many homes, in my lifetime, but on every one of them, I was informed of any CC&Rs and of any HOA stipulations, before I entered into the contract to purchase. Is this not required by law? I guess that if the rules and regulations were not to my liking, I would not have agreed to the contract. Justa a thought or three.
