HOA – The scary part of an HOA

Living in an HOA Community has its pros and cons. For someone on a fixed income the big con is how much they can raise the dues, either monthly quarterly or annually. It's quite scary for someone with a disability, HOAs have control over everything! They control what kind of animal you can have how many animals you can have, what type of animal you can have~ even though you took out a loan to buy the condominium you really have no rights. I personally have had issues with the HOA. Our HOA president at one time was belligerent too many people people including me, she was very unhinged.. People Can't put a Color coordinated roll up shade on your covered patio to keep the sun from bearing down facing the west. you have to abide by all the rules including what type of blind you can put up, the color of your screen door! You are cited for anything that your company does, or even if you let someone in to make a delivery they don't park in the right place, you get reprimanded and find for it all of this has happened to me anymore. I would say the biggest thing is in an HOA, is that they can just keep raising the rates and tell you no longer for to live there and you have no control. And that's where I'm at right now

In addition, if someone is suing the HOA for any reason whatsoever, it's impossible to get a refinance or a loan until that suit is settled, and the HOA does not tell you when something like that is going on I think the HOA has way too much control!
