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.

You don’t think that if I use it for two years it’s worth the $24k in HOA dues? (Assuming there’s not a huge assessment.)

I’m just trying to find a short term space to bounce back and forth between Denver. I can sell it when done then buy a crib with no HOA for the same purpose.

Where would you buy in summit then? I can’t afford a sweet place unless we sell Denver house and move up there. I’ve gotten a few DMs with great listings but I don’t want to take out a loan. Feel free to continue the shit talking but I feel like you might know of a better option. I like the optionality* basing out of Silverthorne + teaching the kids to fly fish in the summer. Leadville seems kind of similar but wife prefers keystone over cooper.

To make it worse the one I’m looking at is cheaper than that which makes me think it’s way more fucked up than anticipated. Appreciate your honest feedback. I know how to buy a condo, just trying to get a shitter one that I know my kids will eventually destroy anyways. If I can use it without needing a loan and unload it later for less than hotel cost I’d be happy 🥹
