I've been on the board of our HOA since it's inception in 2008 and have been the only president too.

We had a HOA president of a small gated community break into a property and cause over $7,000 worth of damage after the occupants had left the property.

First one had a $5.000 lien that I had once hired an attorney to put on it when I was President of the same HOA!

They are the presidents house and the very first building on campus but neither have any tax payer information.

As I said I am very new to this however, some additional information I have gathered since last night is.....Apts are total elect however, tenants are paying electrical bills (in next door units).

If you're old enough like my generation, we remember exactly where we were when President Kennedy was slain.

However, there is a big concern that they are going to revisit the issue now that November elections are over.One of the reasons that they have not instituted these fees is from REIA spreading the word and having landlords contact Norwood city council.

The median price for Austin-area homes was $219,530, which is 10 percent more than the same month in 2012.Cathy Coneway, 2013 President of the Austin Board of REALTORS­®, explained, “With strong activity across all segments of the market, the Austin-area housing market has been full steam ahead through the holidays and the rest of the year, Our city’s population and job growth show no signs of slowing down, so 2014 will likely be another competitive year for Austin real estate.”In November 2013, inventory remained at a historically low level of 2.3 months, which is more than half of a month less than November 2012.

Unless Carter becomes president again you are fine with 12%.

@Priscilla PeshavariaBefore the meeting connect with the president tell them you are thinking of going, Ask them their experience with the club.
