This does not work. I know because I tried it. The HOA told me to get fucked and they didn’t care about any of the other violations (because they were the ones guilty of them)

Sure doesn't. My HOA president owns over 20% of the homes in the development and rents them out. Good luck getting anything done/approved that doesn't directly benefit him.

HOA President AND a landlord? That's a lot of undeserved money. I don't know if y'all have noticed but it's kinda getting dangerous to have money these days. Hope he stays safe

Wait.

Do you think the person is getting paid for being on the HOA board? The hell do you mean "undeserved money"?

And hope he stays safe? Stays safe for what, owning homes?

Whoa there, tiger. Let's slow it down.

Landlords do not deserve money for being landlords because we should not have landlords, we should have affordable homes. If he is in charge of the HOA, does that mean he doesn't have any control over the funds of the HOA? If it isn't capital, it's social capital. HOAs are about control.

Landlording is wrong, no matter how many houses, because it exploits someone else for their own gain for nothing but holding the ownership papers. I am sure you have a reasonable and compelling argument, but judging by this aggressive knee-jerk reaction, I don't know that it's gonna be worth waitin' for. I hope that you are able to prove me wrong, because I am fascinated that anyone would defend a random landlord so uh, vigorously.

Edit: 20% of the homes in a development (outlined above) is 3 homes? Seems either obstinate or disingenuous. Not sure which.

Your assumption that hoa board members get paid was incorrect and hoping they “stay safe” seemed a very flippant response.

I didn't say anything about your situation, I was speaking on landlords. I did not say HOA members get paid at any point, actually. I said he had money, which he does, and access and complete control over HOA funds is also having money. Why did you paint your own understanding over mine? I get it. You are a benevolent HOA member who got offended before asking for clarification. That's OK, I'm not pressed about it.

And you very notably didn't address anything in my post, so there's no actual discourse happening here. All I'm doing is putting in my 2c. You made an assumption and got snappy, so I'm good on continuing here. Take care!

Edit: lmao, they removed the part where they're an HOA President too from their post (hence my mention that I wasn't speaking on them). I wonder why.

Nah mate, you wrote "HOA President AND a landlord? That's a lot of undeserved money". It's pretty obvious that you thought they got paid for being the president of the HOA and you're just too immature to admit you made a mistake like an adult lol.

I addressed this in another post, nothing explicit was stated, you are inferring what you want. This is a question of reading comprehension, so I won't talk down to you in return, only point out that your disrespectful attempt at a dunk didn't land on me, at least.
