His name is Jim Scharfeld, President.

I have no idea if our HOA funds pay his lawyer, if he pays himself to plow our road (they refuse to hire anyone to maintain it, he does it just fine himself), there are serious drainage issues that won't be addressed, and a litany of other questions that should be answered before forcing a vote.I have yet to move into my house but it seems all of these sudden changes have to do with the Presidents hatred for one family that owns multiple lots (all new covenants and bylaws are aimed at one family, the president even held a secret zoom meeting with us and another new family to steer our vote the way he would like AND mildly trash talk one specific family).Isn't there a law in Indiana to protect homeowners from being forced to vote on such a major decision without providing adequate resources for us to determine if this is right for the community?

@Daniel Smyth following that logic, you have 12 votes, so vote yourself president of the HOA and change the rules :)

If I made a single member LLC with only my name in it, wouldn't that defeat the purpose because I would be held liable since I'm the only LLC member/president?

Fortunately, because my attorney knows the board president, got his private number, and had him prepare and sign off on the board resolution saying the unit is an "Investor unit" and rentable. 

I left my division vice president role to go into real estate full time. 

I would assume a larger company wouldn't have the president/ceo filling out loan paperwork.

Your situation is a bit more nuanced than a typical transaction and as such, you should definitely consult with a tax advisor as these things change over time, especially with new presidents.

Hi My name is Renee, I'm a newbie and wanted to introduce myself.

No President no matter how liberal or conservative can change that.And real estate will continue to give ordinary hard working Americans the chance to build big time wealth.
