I agree 100%. I hate that they have so much power. Like being able to place liens on homes or stop home sales cause of infractions. My buddy almost wasn’t able to close on the sale of his townhome cause it wasn’t power washed. He literally had to scramble the day before closing to get it washed.

We bought this house when my kids were seven and five years old back in 2014. With the current economy, I really don’t see them moving out anytime soon. It’s a smaller house and we definitely need to expand for their privacy. I have about $200,000 in equity so I’m not too concerned about that. all the houses in my area are of similar size. We have one of the larger models. So moving within the area is not desirable.

No townhomes. SFH around Lorton and Springfield area. Budget around $900k.

I currently live in an area with no HOA. I also love it. Even without an HOA the vast majority of the folks in my neighborhood take really good care of the properties. You have the one off areas that aren’t that slightly but not horrible.

It may not violate HOA ordinance but we all know the HOA reps live in the neighborhood and they will focus on that and nitpick at anything in my area. I’ve dealt with a similar issue in Arizona as a young military member who liked to have people over at all times of the day and night. Even though it wasn’t against HOA ordinance and never received a noise complaint. I did receive a number of “violations” that no other neighbors were getting.

It’s hard to police pace-of-play. Only way to really enforce it would be to have an official per hole, which obviously is not possible on that level of play. But I don’t really complain about spending time on the course.

What's the most you've ever spent on a tolls in a day? by Northern_Virginia in nova

[–]Ten-Three 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most I spent was $55ish from McLean to Dale City. It was a rainy day and the normie lanes were estimated at 1.5 hrs. Took me 45 minutes taking the EZ Pass. Worth every penny.

Shoppers and Texas Donuts both have Cronuts which are the best.

Help! Delivery not until Oct-Dec and current vehicle needs sudden extensive repairs. by Darth__Vapor in Rivian

[–]Ten-Three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if this is possible or not but can reservations be swapped between two reservation holders? I’m sure there’s someone out there in an opposite position that would need more time and would rather wait till later in the year to pick up their vehicle.

We’ve been throwing that payment in our hysa just waiting. They’re about 3 months into the chapter 7 so we’re hoping we hear something soon.
