Did you know: property management companies collect over $70 billion in HOA fees every year in support of over 333,000 community associations. While the rates vary widely, they typically range from $200 to $400 per month.
Failure to pay HOA fees can not only affect your credit score, the HOA can place a lien against your property with the county clerk, which then becomes a public record and will appear on your title report should you attempt to sell your home. This can also impact your ability to qualify for a larger mortgage in the future.
Before you buy, know and understand the HOA requirements. Do they increase every year? Is there are possibility for HOA assessments? Any new HOA expenses in the planning stages?
