CAN YOU OUTSWIM YOUR HOA SHARKS?
or will you drown trying?
by D. Vanitzian
May 20, 2007
Owning, let alone living in an HOA is a tough JOB and requires you be physically fit, possess a certain sophistication of the processes, and have the character let alone stamina, that allows you to be persistent in a manner that indescribable to REAL real-property owners.
The majority of homeowners are unable to keep up with it. Its another reason why purchasing this type of "property" is not for everybody. It takes more than "money" - it takes the time and mental awareness to be and keep informed, and unfortunately again, the majority of homeowners think "someone else is going to do that for them." I'm still fighting the SHARKS - seven BAD Senate and Assembly bills.
Still the MAJORITY of deed-restricted property owners did NOT bother (or could not be bothered, whichever the case may be) to send ME a vote of confidence (mind you, not asking them for money!) in representing their voice against these BAD legislative decisions (bills) NOR did THEY themselves BOTHER to write to their Senators and Assemblymen. But, many of them will continue to look for assistance on/with their problems thinking they can solve them without a lawyer or knowledge of the laws -- that is, until they are hit from behind -- then where do they turn?
