I am in agreement, it's time for you guys to get together and retain an attorney.

But maybe if we had a home owner's association, my neighbors wouldn't treat their front porch like a storage shed.RealHustlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070016006573810157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18396347.post-59053064742383015222009-01-06T21:29:00.000-05:002009-01-06T21:29:00.000-05:00*Sue!

Get some of your neighbors together and go and speak with a Real Estate attorney.<BR/><BR/>*Management companies should be voted in by the MEMBERS of the HOA and not the Board. <BR/><BR/>*Before you jump further into this battle ask for a copy of your Building Standards and the Annual Budget (both of these should be readily available to the MEMBERS). These may need to be audited. Your looking for reserve accounts, allotment of special assessments they've billed you, how they've budgeted for current year expenses, etc. You're also making sure they are not exceeding the mandated allowable increase/witholdings. They tend to do this type of stuff to cover shortfalls and then when the MEMBERS can't pay they lien on their property and try to foreclose. This is what most people fear but it normally doesn't happen that often. (BUT FOLK DON'T KNOW THAT)<BR/><BR/>*Make sure you're HOA is not part of a larger "Master" HOA. This may make things kind of messy. You don't want to be lumped in with renters when you own or worse have the same HOA overseeing another development.<BR/><BR/>I don't know a whole lot about HOAs because my background is Commercial, but hopefully the little I gave you above can help.Kamikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911735729954537379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18396347.post-27850097120735889952009-01-06T17:57:00.000-05:002009-01-06T17:57:00.000-05:00i have none either. sounds like u need some major ...i have none either. sounds like u need some major help with like minded people. knowing me i would be on the sidelines. but thanks for explaining that more!Carmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677742732070259002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18396347.post-23229334538566027402009-01-06T17:40:00.000-05:002009-01-06T17:40:00.000-05:00ugh... thats messed up, but i still have no advice...ugh... thats messed up, but i still have no advice.Still Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354178083853153422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18396347.post-84750846780599352582009-01-06T15:30:00.000-05:002009-01-06T15:30:00.000-05:00I know you will get to the bottom of it.
