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? :-)

This varies from state to state, Walter. Some states, like Utah have very
few laws regarding HOAs.
