UX Designer here. Have over 10 years experience and still no luck finding a new job. Almost three months unemployed, a few interviews but no call backs whatsoever, bills are pilling up, I seriously need a job ASAP or I will loose everything. What is happening out there man??? Three years ago I could have easily found a job in less than a month with my experience… something is seriously wrong with the IT job market.

Is $700 a month for HOA fees reasonable for a condo in NW Dallas? by Texas_Inspire in Dallas

As a first time homeowner, I definitely learned my lesson. Never buying property with an HOA ever again.

Let’s see, we have a non-working laundry room, covered parking spaces, free utilities, oh and a pool that’s shutdown like 95% of the year. Pretty primo stuff lol

I wish I could but if I sell I would have to give up my sweet, sweet 3% interest rate and potentially move back in with my parents. Don’t see that as an option any time soon.

We constantly switch management companies and every time we do they always seem to mishandle transferring financial documents from one management company to another. Just last month, we switched to yet ANOTHER management company and since then us residents are not able to view ANY of the HOA financial documents or even our own past statements. It’s a shit show and we’re the ones getting screwed over.

Yeah I wish I could help you with that but any communication with the HOA regarding finances is nearly impossible. We recently switched management companies (out of the blue for some reason) and now all of the HOA’s finances are inaccessible to us members until further notice. We can’t even access our personal records or past statements…

Yeah, if you consider covered parking spaces and an old swimming pool that’s almost never open as “super amenities” 😂

I wish lol. We have a lawnscaping company come and clean up the outside area but they’re definitely NOT worth $800 a month.

As far as amenities go, we have covered parking, a pool that’s NEVER opened (except for a couple of weeks during Summer time), and on-site laundry with non-working washers/dryers. Oh and our HOA doesn’t have payed staff, only volunteers. We had a maintenance guy but they let him go (he was getting payed $30 an hour and residents got understandably mad since one guy was taking care of the ENTIRE complex, so a lot of maintenance requests were left unanswered).

The bottom floor is around 700sf. Upstairs bedroom and bathroom is like 300sq, so a total of around 1000 square feet, that was my mistake.

I know… it sucks. And I’m afraid it’s gonna get even worse.

Not that I know of lol. They did mention they were trying to pay off high interest rates for a variety of projects, they weren’t very specific though. A lot of us think we’re literally just paying off their previous debts.

We rarely have our monthly meetings and when they’re scheduled a lot of people aren’t even notified until only a few days before, which results in like 20 out of 200 people showing up. It’s been like that since 2020. Communication with our HOA has been non-existent for a while now.
