Generally you will be required to pay full HOAs on each lot. There are some options from time to time in new or newer developments where amenities aren't yet in place where you won't have to pay, or you may have reduced HOAs until the amenities and services are in place. It all really depends on where you're looking to purchase.

Good Luck...

@Larry Fried Thank you Larry....a bit overwhelmed with all of the information and where to start as I look through the forums but so glad to have the resource!

@Paul Timmins Thank you for the information and the resources, I will be sure to check them out! I have met up with one of the local REIAs and will continue to network....Thanks again.

Hello Bigger Pockets! Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I have been interested in real estate investing for many, many years. I did a fix and flip shortly before the housing market collapsed and was lucky to do fairly well with that project. But ultimately got cold feet seeing how things were going and took an extended break to pursue other interests. Since then I have taken advantage of early retirement from my fire department career and relocated from PA to SC.

My interest in real estate investing has never really left me and now that I have finally gotten settled in after getting my house built, I am looking to get back to investing and building a "business" that can provide some financial freedom. I recently got licensed as a real estate agent which I believe will be beneficial not only from the standpoint of the income it can provide but also networking, learning the market, and so on.

So far I have been spending a lot of time mainly listening to the podcasts here but I look forward to getting into the forums and the other areas of Bigger Pockets to learn what I can and eventually being another resource for anyone that I can help out.

Have a great day!
