I have a copy of some association rules on CD. I could email you a copy, but the file is huge, about 40 paper pages. \n\nYou could drive around and look for a condo or a neighborhood in which the houses all look alike. Pick any address and go to the county courthouse. If there is an association, it will be connected to every address in that community. \n\nPlease don't do it yourself. Consult a real estate attorney! You would be safer doing your own dental extractions. \n\nLeigh \nPortland\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com

Here.(Canada)...very little. You can't even have a family member or the like phone in to report a payment or get an outstanding balance to pay it for you. \n\nI work for a law office and when dealing in real estate transactions, searching the utility accounts is part of the due process. Unless you are acting for the seller, they won't even tell you the outstanding amount until the seller's solicitor has faxed  and confirmed that the property is being sold and the information is necessary to be released.

The powers of the association are usually delegated to the association's board of directors that must be elected by the membership at an annual meeting. The Davis-Stirling Act sets forth the powers and duties of the governing board which include: enforcing governing documents, levying and collecting assessments from association members, foreclosing on property for unpaid assessments and taking disciplinary action against association members who violate the governing regulations.\n\nHomeowner associations raise funds through assessments. There are two types of assessments: 1) regular or annual assessments which are levied on a recurring basis and generally cover operating costs and normal deposits to reserves; and 2) special assessments that are levied on a one-time basis, often for capital improvements. Assessments become delinquent 15 days after they are due, unless the governing documents of the association provide for a longer time.\n\nIn the event of nonpayment, the association must provide the owner with a description of its collection and lien enforcement procedures and an itemized statement of the charges owed by the owner at least 30 days prior to recording a lien. An owner may dispute the assessment debt and, if the full amount is paid under protest, request alternative dispute resolution. An owner may also request to establish a payment plan. Thirty days after the lien is filed, the association may enforce the lien through foreclosure. In effect, the homeowners association can initiate the foreclosure proceeding in as little as 75 days after the assessment was first due. Often, a homeowner association foreclosure is completed in less than one year.

Homeowners Associations are voting on by the residents. You must take this up with the Association, helps if you have several neighbors who feel as you do.

i bought a house built circa 1880. its definitely got a lot of character, but its a fixer-upper. but, as long as theres nothing structurally wrong with the house, you should be ok. i've got a lot of connections with plumbers/conctruction and stuff because my dad works with them as an electrician. so, i chose to get more, but have to work on it. generally with newer homes you get less, but its done and in perfect shape. and with condos, theres no work at all to be done, but theres fees.

You are screwed.\n\nWhen you bought a home that belongs to a HOA, you agreed to abide by all their regulations and by-laws.  Period.\n\nRun ads in the paper, penny saver, post outside of your neighborhood, boards at grocery stores, laundromats etc.\n\nYou can also pay for yourself to list your home in the MLS, go to www.mls.com.\n\nGood luck

For me, the reasons to buy a condo include location and access to the things I want and need (grocery, banks, work, shopping), low maintenance (no yard care) and a sense of community through the amenities such as fitness center, swimming pools, tennis courts, and clubhouse.  The negatives to buying a condo is that I don't think they appreciate as quickly in value as single family homes do.  One reason for this might be the fact that at any given time, there may be units just like yours on the market, so there is more competition to keep the price lower.  If I were looking at buying a condo, I would pay careful attention to how the common areas are kept, whether you receive parking or a garage with your unit, what the HOA fees will be each month, whether any extra HOA assessments are coming due, and the ratio of owners to renters in your development.    Good luck!!!

Homeowners' Associations may regulate the look of your yard... trees, lawns, and weeds. Usually it's because a neighbor complained about the look of something. Homeowners associations work for the greater good of the community. They can place tons of rules on the look of your house and yard as they see fit for the community. \n\nFile a complaint in regards to this issue and explain what is in your yard. Maybe they don't realize it's not an actual weed.  \n\nOn the other hand, it's pretty much what they say goes. If they ask you to get rid of it.. you usually don't have much of a choice unless you want to go through a legal battle. Not fun.

You are on the right path.  You have got to get as much homeowners involved as possible.  If you guys still have access to your old by-laws, they might give you a summary of the protocol you should follow after a property management co. has taken over.  If not, contact another homeowner's association office to ask for advise.  If that doesn't help, get online and find someone that can!!  I'd call Kens 5 - Five on Your Side!! Assuming you're in Texas (san antonio)

depends on how much your house is worth.  So can't really answer this question without that info.

A lot of new home subdivisions are being built as common interest developments.  If you want to buy a property in one of these developments you must join the association.  In every association I have ever herd of there is always some type of fee.  Sometimes the fees are small, just some type of management fee.  Other times the association pays for gardening, maintenance, roads etcetera.  I know in some areas it can be hard to find properties that don’t belong to some type of association.  They do however exist; you just have to find them.  Oh, I almost forgot, if you decide to buy in an association community, read the CC&R’s VERY carefully.  They often have strict requirements about what you can and can not do to, on or in your own property.  \nBest of luck to you.

Be sure to find out what the homeowners association fees are before you buy.... sometimes they are ridiculouly high.

Stray balls! Just kidding but seriously. \nMany of these communities will have strict homeowners association regulations, high homeowners association fees, you may be required to become a member of the course or countryclub(which can be expensive) and lots of broken windows. \nhttp://www.lendermark.com
