hoa's on sfr's in indianapolis

[Jesse Danzig]

we are looking at $75k-$100K+ sfr's in indianapolis, and many of them come with hoa dues for snow removal or if they are in communities that have a pool, club house, etc. we are generally pretty skeptical of hoa's, but would love to hear your thoughts on them: not a big concern (other than increasing expenses), or something to be avoided, etc.

thanks in advance for any feedback.
