I am currently not having to worry about it, but I am sure it will be time to be a homeowner again.

I've never been in one. I just put up a big building and the city inspected and approved it. That should be good enough. On some other property I actually have mineral rights in my deed. * * *

I've lived both in neighborhoods with HOA's and without. The HOA neighborhoods had certain restrictions, such as types of roofing materials and paint colors that can be used. Where I lived before, the CC&R's required shake roofing only. That's a fire hazard. I and several other interested homeowners got placed on the architectural control committee and did a through investigation of alternate products. We made recommendations, and now certain high-end asphalt composite shingle products are allowed. The plus side to living in one of these communities is you're assured that your next door neighbor won't turn his yard into a pit bull play yard, with an old truck up on blocks in the driveway. My attitude is, if you can't abide by those types of restrictions, don't buy a house in a community that is governed by CC&Rs.
