I had to pay to send HoA documents to the buyer (yeah yeah, never touching an HOA again).

Just curious, what HOA documents? From what I've seen, deed restrictions should be publicly available. Also, if they're so all fired important, why didn't you already have a copy?

I'm with you on the HOA hate wagon. I have one now where I live, but it's voluntary. That's the only reason I even considered this property. Trying to get real estate agents to understand that I didn't want an HOA felt like a monty python skit. What about the house house house hoa and house? It hasn't got much HOA on it. Hmm, can I get the house house house hoa and house but hold the hoa? Except this time the answer was yes.

I don't even know. I'm super limited for time and still have so much to do lol.

I don't mind the voluntary ones, Maine has a few like that, the 'noone plows this road us 3 people live on, pitch in 15$ a month'. Sign me up. But fuck the ones with Karens driving around in a company van telling you your mailbox post is slightly out of specs.

On the other hand, the below HoA, who is not letting anyone ask questions at meetings, would be the first to be murdered in Minecraft:

Magnolia Cove homeowners face massive jump in monthly HOA dues

We have a few people in ours who come to the meeting every year and propose we raise the fees. Not board members, residents. Why? Well because their friends live in a neighborhood and the fees are 10x as high, so a measly extra $50 is still nothing. Last year my wife and I missed the meeting so they got their increase. I think it went from $100 to $150. Maybe $150 to $200 per year. When we've been there we always challenged it and asked what the money was needed for. They'd say something like more mowing. Cool, how much is that going to cost? Awesome, I see we already collect enough to cover that, so how about instead I make a motion to do that extra mowing that we can already afford? The last time we 'clashed' my wife told her "Honey, if you want to pay more per year, there is absolutely nothing stopping you. The POA can take donations. We donated $5000 over last year few years to get the boat ramp fixed. Did you donate for the boat ramp? That's a big expense we actually have."

Our goal is to make sure the POA doesn't have a war chest to start enforcement actions on anyone. If they have money, it will burn a hole in their pocket till they spend it.

Anyway, that story looks almost like a YGWYFD story. I bet it's a management company instead of a board full of residents.
