Agreed. I would never buy a home that I could not paint any color I wanted to, or remodel any way that I saw fit, within the guidelines of general good taste. HOA's are a pain in the behind at best, and they go downhill rapidly from there.

I had a HOA once. The Pres. who ruled with an iron hand, was the only person whose door didn't meet the specifications of the Association. It was crazy! There was a case in a Houston suburb recently, an association filed for foreclosure on an elderly widow because she hadn't paid her dues for two or three years. A person with ties to a member of the board got her house for a little of nothing. It did get a lot of nasty publicity but it was all legal.
