She’s a real estate broker on a mission and armed with a new website (www.hoasavers.com). She sat on her HOA board and got her eyes opened to all the waste by property managers. But her board was able to save her HOA $40,000 by getting their own bids, minus the “guidance” of any property manager.
HOLY COW! Michael Latz of Golden Valley Property Management says Jill needs to get away from the HOA herd. He’s runnin’ this ranch and got this biddin’ business under control! (Wink, wink.)
Come to think of it, wouldn’t Jill make a stellar replacement in the Legislature for The Bimbo? State Representative Michelle Ugenti has made a mockery out of the legislative process in Arizona. Can we talk Jill Schweitzer into running?
That would actually be a legislative race that would be fun to watch!
Whew! Put up any kind of lawn sign in an HOA neighborhood and you’re going to get “rode hard and put away wet.”
These poor folks in North Carolina put up a small sign on their porch to tell burglars that they believed in the Second Amendment. No sooner did the sign go up than they were they smacked up alongside the face.
“Illegal sign! One hundred bucks a day!” This is one HOA that knows how to play cards and lay down a phony flush. “We own your butt, Big Boy! And you’re goin’ down hard.”
If you’ve EVER considered living in an HOA neighborhood, wander over to Amazon.com and buy my book, Neighbors At War! Or borrow a freebie from your next-door neighbor. And definitely….read the link posted below!
Gosh, I was another blogger who missed this story last month. But the total number of organized crime lawyers and contractors pleading guilty in the Nevada HOA racketeering trial now numbers 30. And those dirty 30 will be testifying against the 9.
Don’t ever let a homeowner express doubt when you try to convince him or her that racketeering runs throughout the American HOA movement. The feds have nailed 39 crooks in this organized crime ring in Nevada. Believe me the true number in that state is actually in the thousands. And this web of HOA corruption infects and infests the rest of the states.
As I’ve said before, the Nevada trial is just a ‘show trial’. This federal investigation was undertaken for only one purpose: to demonstrate to all the state law enforcement agencies that they can do the same kind of investigations on a local basis. That would be a miracle… if it ever happens
The unfortunate folks in this neighborhood are only missing $20,000. That’s peanuts compared to the millions and millions of dollars lost in other crooked HOAs. But when you buy into a glorified ‘investment club’ (which is technically all a Homeowners Association really is) you shouldn’t complain when you get ripped off.
Still, for the record, here’s a link to another story on homeowners who feel they’ve been cheated.
Yep, I’ve said in the past that the out-of-control HOA movement is an international problem. The American HOA movement is outrageous, of course. But the newspaper article linked below shows some parallel problems in South Africa. They don’t have the Bill of Rights that we do. But it appears their HOA leaders are just as vicious.
