The title company will not close the transaction unless the new owner
signs off on the CC&R's. The bank will not lend on the property unless
the buyer signs compliance with the CC& R's and By-Laws of the HOA.

CC&R's are voluntary agreements, intended to keep up property values.
Works very well, too. Nobody is forced to buy into a HO administered
tract. Keeps out a lot of trucks which spell "low income" and "blue
collar" and "rednecks" and cheap housing.

Who wants to live in a neighborhood were people cannot afford to drive
passenger cars? :-)

Who wants to live in a neighborhood where you have to?


And who wants to live in a home where the next door neighbor has an RV on
the lawn blocking the view of the purple house next to him with the five
foot weeks in the front lawn? To each his own. If you want to live that way,
don't buy in an HOA. But anyone that tells you they were not given the docs
in advance is probably lying to you. Even at a closing you'd be asked if you
were given a copy of the docs in advance, did your read and approve them.
