re: Ridiculous HOAs

We recently had a birthday party for my 4 year old at our house. There were 5 cars that parked in the street in front of my house for about 2 hours during the party. The other day I received an e-mail from the HOA with a photo of the cars parked in the road advising me that this was a violation of the HOA policy.

The key is to get a seasoned realtor who knows the areas you're looking to buy and can speak on all of the different HOAs.

My realtor was very specific about each house we looked at, gave tons of examples of good/bad for every single HOA. So obviously we settled on a house in a neighborhood where his feedback was all positive about our HOA. 4 years later, not a peep from them.
