"The Property" is 8 individual parcels of land, one parcecl with a cabin within a community that when asked (emailed president) question regarding HOA responded with, "Byllaws posted on web site regarding obligation for road assessments only.

Try to figure out when the next election is going to be, who the candidates are and what their disposition is towards fees and landlords, and how long their term last.Also keep in mind when you buy it will most likely trigger an assessment by the county and raise your prop. taxes.
