I don't believe you CAN know just what you're getting into when moving

a HOA neighborhood. The HOA committees can be unpredictable and
capricious,and also political. Get one board member ticked off at
you,and
you'll be getting notices for all sorts of "violations" that others
aren't
getting.

Some friends of mine bought a condo, and were not given a copy of the
CC&R's
until AFTER closing, even though they requested one before.


I think that's called buying a pig in a poke. If I just *had* to
have that property-- but they wouldn't let me see it before I bought
it, I wouldn't close. [and *it* can be the property or the bylaws-
no difference] No sympathy from this quarter- no matter how draconian
their HOA is.

Thank you, Jim, for all your tender mercies and sympathy. I wasn't asking
for them, but only relating a story that had to do with the thread.
