(Home) Buyer Beware!

Know what the CC&Rs for the community and/or the homeowner's assoc are
before signing on the dotted line.

Make sure you have (and keep) a copy - never know when you may need it.

If you have the above, and the rules are modified, "existing non-conforming" will usually win in court...

Even that will NOT protect your interests forever. There are presidents presiding over HOA's and they are voted in by the homeowners.

When a new president is elected he/she can CHANGE the HOA rules and the majority that voted him in will be the same majority that votes on the HOA changes. And you can be caught holding the bag on an RV or Truck that is no longer allowed on your very own property. And there is no grandfathered in clause when this happens.

You can be really screwed after buying a house with one set of hoa rules to find out it will be changed to something that affects your household.

Same goes with an area that doesn't have an HOA and the majority of the residents band together to vote one in. :(

That's why all my houses were located in unincorporated and out of the county area's on acreage. Far far away from any HOA.
