I joined bigger pockets to gather as much info as possible before I start to invest.I graduated from UIC( University of Illinois at Chicago) about a year ago wit bachelors in finance.

I just witnessed someone from california come to this area and struggle to try to get her money reinvested before the clock struck 12.

These costs have already resulted in PMs that serve smaller (less than 25 homes) HOAs to go out of business.The fees, business costs and government involvement would be more tolerable if the law accomplished its’ intended goal of consumer protection.However, the law is vague on the most simple demands and accountability for property managers: 1) there are no direct statements mandating PMs comply with all State laws and an HOA’s governing documents 2) no direct statements that require PMs to advise an HOA when they observe non-compliance with the law or to report to DORA when such advice has been ignored and violations continue3)no direct statements that hold PMs accountable when they carry out requested actions of a Board that are in non-compliance with the law or an HOAs governing documents 4) no mandates for PMs to provide home owners with a detailed explanation or legal justification of fees and assessments (such as the HOA Transfer Fee) they independently impose and retain and 5) no requirement to explain and justify in detail all PM fees in their contracts with the HOA.Repeated requests to DORA (Department of Regulatory Services) and legislators from Colorado’s largest HOA home owner’s group, Colorado HOA Forum, to include these simple specifics have been rejected making reform and enforcement for home owners very difficult.Legislators also refused to include in the Law assistance to smaller HOA PMs by reducing their licensing costs and requirements.Licensing also witnessed an unprecedented and disturbing legislative act.The Law contains language directly promoting a private entity’s (CAI) sales products and educational courses.It also allows the industry that is to be regulated (CAI) to develop and complete State educational, testing, and credentialing requirements none of which have been officially reviewed or approved by the State.Then there is the missing legislative mandate in licensing rules to address meaningful “full disclosure” of all fees and assessments on home owners by PMs.Specifically, the HOA Transfer Fee that cost HOA home owners millions each year will continue without any limits or justification.DORA decided a one-liner on home closing documents with no receipt and/or detail of charges is “full disclosure” of this fee.Legislation/licensing that is crafted by the interest group to be regulated should be disconcerting to home owners and businesses.The CAI has dominated the PM industry and HOA legislation in Colorado for decades.Their influence and leadership has led to the need for licensing and reform.July 1, 2015 was to be a good beginning on reforming the abuses in the PM industry but HOA home owners will sadly see little change.

However, I've also been witness to partnerships that have gotten ugly. 

Ive been living here for 8 years, and we had some disagreements with the association management about increases on the HOA with "weird" explanations/justifications.Plus, every time students moves out of one of many properties, Ive witnessed properties in needs of major TLC and/or an absolute overhaul.

In the long-run, the hope/assumption is that development in the area will have a net positive effect on values as the increase in supply will be more than offset by an increase in demand as people witness and, ultimately, buy into all the re-development that the area is experiencing.Another point to consider that another poster brought up is that most of the new supply will be at a higher price point, as development of higher-end product pencils out more easily than it does for affordable units.

I had a situation where I did over and above my job, I kept everything clean making sure if I ever needed any time for a personal situation being my child was sick and had to pick her up I always made up the time over and above the time I used to get her to care to get back to work, I clocked in later than so arrived I clocked in earlier than so left everyday, I always gave more time, I took less lunch time than everybody else, I appeared blameless in every situation, I had a witness everytime if I had to deal with any money, then like a previous post in here, one day my boss grew fangs when I made a mistake that was completely fixable and abused me verbally put of the blue and so resigned and worked out my final weeks with my head up coz I knew and so did all the other staff that I was blameless and I learnt a valuable lesson to keep your relationship professional no matter how everyone else functions in the workplace, the fact in this situation was my boss was jealous that I got results out of the staff, which is silly coz that was my job, to manage them effectively that they would produce!...

By returning several times, you might be the person they call when they hit a wall with the bank or you might go back just when they're at their wit's end and want to talk.For me, the one-and-done numbers game isn't much better than direct mail.  

I don't know your states laws, but getting it notarized is always a good idea, and have 2 witnesses.
