Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

I believe that there is a little confusion here. An HOA cannot restrict the sale or conveyance of a property. It does not have the power or legal standing to do so. Covenants, also referred to as "CC" (covenants, conditions and restrictions) are often used in common interest developments to

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

Agreed, Don, you should be able to buy acreage, develop it, and build an HOA on it. Isn't that true under Americas capitalist system of government? Then, assuming you are still abiding by capitalist rules, shouldn't you be allowed to sell the houses you build on it to anyone you want and require

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

A friend of mine bought a house many years ago in Aiken, SC that had in the deed that it would "never be sold to a Jew or a Negro." I don't think it was in an HOA, probably pre-dated that, but it was a restriction written into the deed, and probably for all the neighboring houses too. He

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

There's no forced segregation here. It's a matter of personal choice. There are plenty of areas around me with comparable property values that don't have HOAs. I will gladly show you through them and let you make the choice. All it takes is one property owner who wants to pull the engine in

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

They still sounds too much like the "whites only" neighborhoods of the not that long ago past. I should be allowed to buy any property that I can afford, and do whatever I want with it once I own it. On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 10:07 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

And that's the way most property owners are. I don't want my place looking shabby, either. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, so controls need to exist so the expectations are known, clearly articulated, and, if necessary, enforceable. That way there is no confusion about what is

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

I don't have an HOA but self-police for any extraneous junk or disturbing clutter, since my home is the most prominent house in view for all traffic entering the neighborhood. Nonetheless, the 300TD is always in full display when I'm at home, since the garage is full of other cars. I wonder what

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

Pretty upscale neighborhood in Orlando, I believe. Some of these places have the craziest rules, all of which are provided to potential buyers who must attest to having read them and agree to abide by them before they even close on the house - this is state law. I’m not defending the HOA, but

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

It’s not bad. You just have to be careful and understand what you’re getting into, that’s all. We have a “nice” HOA. The worst thing I can think of that’s happened this year has been writing up an owner because they had a bunch of pallets leaning up against the side of their garage for 3-4

I don't blame the HOA. That truck is butt-ugly. On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 11:07 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Okie Donn sez: I think HOAs are un-constitutional, and need to be >> outlawed. Luckily, our >> > airpark is free range. > > If the HOA was forced on

Re: [MBZ] This sounds like something that would happen in the Poos neighborhood

Okie Donn sez: I think HOAs are un-constitutional, and need to be outlawed. Luckily, our airpark is free range. If the HOA was forced on you, you'd be right. However the buyer has to sign off acceptance of the terms, so it is considered self-inflicted. Nobody makes you buy a house with a

I think HOAs are un-constitutional, and need to be outlawed. Luckily, our airpark is free range. On Fri, Nov 20, 2015 at 6:46 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > It’s not bad. You just have to be careful and understand what you’re > getting into, that’s all. > > We
