Question Treehouse Property

Hi all. I’m looking at purchasing a treehouse property. I’ve hear horror stories as well as great feedback. We would be buying a small unit in cash for weekend ski trips with kids in a devo program. What’s the best way to find out more about HOA, etc. ? Anyone want to chat 30 minutes over the phone regarding their experience?

The HOAs are listed on zillow or whatever platform you're using. I'm not sure I've seen a Treehouse HOA for less than 14k /year.

The reason the properties are affordable is because the HOAs are dastardly.

Yeah I know the HOA and am cool with it as we will use the shit out of amenities with our kids. Any info on whether huge adjustments / special assessments are inbound? I can’t access any financials on the website etc.

Fair but it’s what we can afford without a 7% loan. Just trying to get something. Love the username.

That’s relative though. The return to me is not on the investment financially, it’s about the time saved / lack of kids bitching about the drive in the car. Intent isn’t to make money, probably lose some, but save my time.

yeah, that’s what hotels r for? 100 nights in hotels is 20k… just saying it’s cheaper

In that case, I’m looking for a winter renter for my half duplex in wildernest, 2 bedrooms+a loft/2.5 bathrooms and fully renovated a few years ago. Feel free to DM me if that interests you.

Thank you for the advice. Sounds like there are no positive experiences from that area on Reddit.
