There are some board directors who act more like dictators than directors. That's what's frustrating. I have found that most homeowners are friendly and just want to live their lives. Communication is key, but when you have a board who disrespects homeowners and doesn't answer questions, it becomes not worth living there. Sadly, most of us can't move at this point in time. Suing them hasn't worked. Recalling them hasn't worked. Most of the membership has been alienated from participating and just takes the abuse. Elections take several weeks, because we don't meet quorum.

Thanks for commenting and watching! You're correct, communication is critical and good Boards don't act like dictators. Again, thanks for watching and commenting!

Boards that act as if they own the property. Communication with the owners is important. If you allow cliques to control the HOA, you have lost.

Thank you for your comment and watching our video! We agree, communication is key (respectful, selfless, kind communication). Residents don't want to feel like they live in a 'prison' and want to enjoy their property and their community. Good Boards don't have a 'control complex' they have an attitude of serving the betterment of the entire property, because they're homeowners also. Thanks again for watching and for your comment!

Their frustration because they don’t educate themselves about HOA’s prior to purchasing into a HOA community.
Then after purchasing, they (homeowners) still don’t educate themselves.
