I was in an HOA one time; big mistake.

I was so glad to get out from under my HOA. I was so tired of paying some committee $75 per year to tell me how not to use my property.

I know they can get out of control but I think a neighbor with a large, blue, plywood eyesore in the front yard is the reason HOA’s were created.

Last time I was looking for a house, the first instruction to the realtor was that if it was in an HOA, we weren't interested at all.

we are in the early stages of looking for a larger home.. Very first thing we told the Realtor.. NO HOA’s! After that “no restrictions on using 4 wheelers/snowmobiles on my own land..

She said “do you know how far out of town you will end up?”

My reply. Yes, the further the better ;)
