Why Do So Many On INGO Hate HOA's?

[Destro]

Was that for a house or a condo?

It is nicknamed a condo but single family attached.

I believe because the only two people who love them some HOAs won't take **** no for an answer

Is it because the ANTIs want them gone, which is the antithesis of freedom?

So much for not giving two ****s what your neighbor down the street is doing, unless that guy wants to join a HOA. Then it's F no, he can't do that!

Good to know all but a handful of folks in this thread will never buy a retirement condo in Florida...

That's not bad. My mom was paying about $300/mo at hers (similar - condo/4 single family attached homes with garages per unit).

It was great for her, no maintenance or upkeep required. But she sold it and now I'm the guy that gets the call to handle exterior stuff...

Mowed and ran the weedeater without getting a nasty letter in the mailbox

No one cares if YOU want to be in an HOA, it's forcing others to. It's been said it here countless times.

Nope. If I retire before my time is up I might move to a more retirement friendly state than the US. No condos no HOA’s, definitely no Florida.

And just who forces others? I’m sure you will blame the free market, private landowners, and private developers, just like others here have, as you say, countless times. No matter how many times you and they say it, it still is not true.

It's good you have that choice, however I didn't mean moving.

I could easily see us having a getaway place down south, which is much easier to manage if it's a condo or HOA type place.

Naaa, they will stay at a hotel where someone else controls EVERYTHING.

Why would "they" do that? I may just move back to Missippi. They were pretty retirement friendly back then. Before I made such a decision I would make sure tho. Plenty of cheap land to buy and build on. I'd rather die in the sticks than live any amount of time in a condo. But you do you.

No HOA's on Sardus Lake Dr.

Says the guy who was on the HOA board LOL.

Who said live there full time? Plenty of my folks in my circle have second/winter places in Florida. Go down for a bit in the winter, fall, or spring, then come back home.

I did the second/vacation home thing for a bit, until stars aligned and we decided to move there. Taking care of two properties gets tiring, but having someone else take care of the exterior/lawn at one of the homes sounds fantastic...

A big consideration many overlook is healthcare. Central Indiana has excellent healthcare the sticks of Mississippi may not…

Did you miss the purpose of my stint on the board? I was the party of 'NO'.

Not my style.

Like I said, you do you.

Oh **** healthcare. We don't have healthcare in this country, we have organized wealth extraction.

My birth moms family has been in rural Mississippi for a few hundred years now, I've never heard any of them complain about not having good healthcare.
Lower middle class and the poors have some of the best healthcare in America.

I can see people say that BS until they have cancer or other major health issues and the competent doctors are 100 miles away and true experts are 500 miles away. And if you folks are not evaluating doctors with more scrutiny than your Harley mechanic you need to reevaluate priorities…

Well, Indiana is number 41 on the best hospitals in the usa, if I catch the cancer, I'm heading to DelMarVa for healthcare.

INGO is very lucky to have the breadth of the knowledge you share here…

You should have asked for some of it years ago, I would have pointed you to get a one of those good Trade Union Jobs that are out there.
