Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

HOA... .ugh

 

I hope to never be a part of a HOA ever again....

 

I was having an anxiety attack laying in bed thinking about this. I have to get my house ready to sell up here, find a temporary place to crash there and find a house. I have never sold either and only bought. We had our realtor walk through our current place 2 days ago and my work list increased lol!!

 

My wife was complaining the other day that we spent so much money on a fixer upper. I told her we could have spent a little more on a new house but would have been in an hoa with neighbors 10 feet away from you. House we bought has 3.3acres and all original from 1986.

 

Thank you for finding my new house kidding.....



kind of

 

Man that's pretty sweet! Our realtor wants our house emptied out, so that means I need all my crap packed, shipped and stored down in NC (company is paying for that) move into temp housing and look down there and HOPE my place here sells quick.

 

doesn't bother me too much...looks like a nice neighborhood and has a detached garage already...and a smaller yard which I want.

 

go for it, it looks like a nice setup and close to the lake

 

Just depends on how overbearing they are. Mine doesn’t really get in your business. In 7 years they only bugged me about not approving my roof replacement through them before beginning work.

They serve a purpose when your goofball neighbor decides to paint his doors and shutters seafoam green and plant an army of gnomes throughout his yard.

Personally didn’t bother me but if I was trying to sell this place and I had the seafoam Lord of the Rings playing out next door I’d have been kinda pissed. They made him repaint and move his gnomes.

 

It is a really nice house, with that nice detached 2 car garage. it will be gone by the time I am ready to move on something

 

I agree, HOA has a place. if they are overbearing that sucks, ours has been fine. The main benefit I see is it helps protect property values, prevents your neighbor from storing junk cars in the front yard etc.

 

Prevents this type of shit in a otherwise quiet and nice neighborhood. Once of the Admins on AR15.com lives near this guy and it was a big deal over there last year.

One dude in our neighborhood starts projects but never finishes. Swapped out his own windows for like a year. Over a year now he has been changing siding so large parts of the house haven’t had siding for months at a time. Nice guy. Just doesn’t get worried or in a hurry. Houses in the neighborhood sell fast and for good money even though you can go 2 miles and buy basically the same house new for less in several neighborhoods.

 

Awesome house. Not a freaking million dollars too

 

Can’t take it with ya

 

that's right...but I also don't have a wife who makes baller money

 

I agree. but where did all the cheap houses go or where did everyone get the money from or why am I poor? I'm about to start playing Keno

I'm just happy to have a girl that can put up with me

 

That’s what I can’t understand how does everybody get the money to afford these houses. I have a feeling most people are just buried in debt and will die with it.

 

Most people are yes. But part of why we can now afford a nicer house is because we busted ass to be 100% debt free. (aside from the houses which are assets not liabilities obv)

 

My parents shit a brick with how much we paid for our house, long gone are the days of "nice" $100k houses
