For years I have served as the President for my HOA. Some people love you and still others, will hate you. I live in a resort where not only is there my association but there is a master association as well.

The resort over the course of ten years has overly watered the grass on their side of the fence and all but destroyed it. They recently sent my group a threatening letter saying we are to foot the bill for the repairs of the fence they destroyed, to the tune of almost 10 grand.

Being a REALTOR and the President, I know my ccnrs better than the people who wrote them. There is no way we are paying for a wall that a for profit organization destroyed all on their own. I have two members on the board right now who, well lets just say if they had fought in WW2 we would be speaking German in this country today. So not only do I have to worry about the master and their collective B.S. I have to worry about the two of the four other members who 'serve" with me on the board.

My point is this, if you do not like what your HOA is doing, get involved and serve. Luckily for my community it is not in my DNA to be bullied by big corporations or anyone for that matter, who think they can bend the rules and the law into their favor, I say 'fix your own damn wall!"
