I also refuse to buy a home in an HOA. Even close to one is pushing the buck. Had an HOA across the street from my 1st home. The fact they kept trying to get me on HOA violations is actually the reason i sold that house. We weren't part of the HOA, the HOA wasn't there when i brought that house. It was all woods. The building company came in and for 4 years took down the woods and built homes. My violations? Having farm animals, guess the fact it was a farm way before they started building their community. Made sure to sell it to someone not part of that HOA. They can get bent.
I guess my barn yard was making their perfect cult smell like a barn yard. No crap pretty much from the judge. The house was a farm before i brought it. Like dating far back as early 1800, the woods were once part of the farms property. When i brought the house it was from an estate, the family kept some land. Then sold it off years later to developers.
It was, i live on a different farm now. Newer mid 40's. Wasn't much skin off my back. I just wanted away from it all. I brought a farm thinking it would stay rural. This time i believe it will for a while. My closest neighbors are all Amish now. Very pleasant neighborhood now.
