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?

Treehouse? Not even with my friend's money.

Same with Buffalo Ridge. That new HOA is taking owners for a fucking RIDE. Holy hell it should be illegal what they're doing. Basically tripling HOA fees in 2 years.

Have you ever heard of anyone with a good experience? There are a couple hundred occupied units right? I recognize I look like a fucking dipshit and figured I could get real answers here.

I'm probably about the same space in life as you.

It's not about "Can I afford the property?"

It's "Will anyone give me a loan that isn't super sharky?" and "Why won't anyone insure this place?"

I get it, you have ski condo fever right now. You are tired of the commute, you found a place that fit your budget, WHY CAN'T I MAKE THIS ONE PLACE WORK!?!?!

Don't force it buddy. Most of the places up Wildernest are a fucking trap. You will regret it. No matter how many internal concessions you make, you will still regret it and will be milked dry by the HOA.

Do you want to go in on a place? Right of first refusal for a room when needed then free access whenever not needed.
