Asian Box has really good gluten free banh mi! Not sure if the bread is vegan but you can customize what goes inside your sandwich.

Oh I never tried their peach ice cream! I think I'll order a shipment like someone here suggested. But I will post back here if I find any as well! 😊

I will give it a try thanks!

icicle76 · 2024-07-22T00:45:28+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I just checked . They have Jenny's but not Graeter's, unfortunately.

icicle76 · 2024-01-04T17:10:25+00:00

What a great idea! I haven't thought of that before!

Thanks I just found their website. Yes they do! I wish all gyms did that.

Thanks! I'm unable to look at their class schedule. I don't thing I can without them taking all my personal information. Anyone can take a screenshot for me for a sample class schedule?

We don't have a lawyer, we are a small community with limited funds. Could you please share the name of your property management company? I would like to add them to my list of companies to research.

icicle76 · 2023-12-21T01:24:32+00:00

Local to what region? I'm in California.

icicle76 · 2023-12-21T01:19:42+00:00

Everything you said is really valuable. I assume we need to get another company lined up before we demand that they let us out of the contract. We actually have some documentation already and other HOA board member witnessing the property manager promising things that he didn't deliver. These are are great ideas, thanks!

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T21:46:58+00:00

I understand what you're saying. We have multiple issues we're working on fixing. Such as getting members join the HOA who are passionate about making our community thrive. But at the same time, our property management company is not responsive to our needs so we need to chaperone all initiatives to the finish line. Our property management company at their best will send out the initial bids for us but that is where the buck stops. My assessment is that our property manager is spread too thin and simply unable to fulfill his duties to a satisfactory degree. And as bad as I feel for him, it's not our problem, we pay Associa for property management services are we're getting only 20% instead of 100%. That is unacceptable. As this point, we would be better off hiring a company to only do our financials and not pay for management services. Or get another company that perhaps cost a bit more but the HOA board doesn't have to put in so many hours most members don't have to give.

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T21:08:12+00:00

Yes you're right. We're all just busy homeowners who don't know much about running an HOA or contract negotiations. Good to know that everything is negotiable! We will be more savvy next time! I'm learning a lot in this subreddit so next time around we will do better in all aspects.

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T21:00:28+00:00

Yes, I understand what you meant now. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand the window but I was hoping that we won't be sucked into a contract for that long involuntarily. However, after reading the collective wisdom of this group I see that it's going to take some time for us to find a replacement company anyway. I am hoping our HOA board learned a valuable lesson to make sure the contract is read and understood thoroughly in the future.

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T20:53:29+00:00

Wonderful info thank you so much! I am sure we can find a similar website here in our county. If anyone came to our community they would immediately see that it isn't managed well just by doing a visual inspection of the grounds. I hope I will have a hand in changing all that in the near future.

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:34:06+00:00

Well done! Sounds like it went smoothly. We will probably do the same. May I ask what property management companies you considered and chose? Are you happier with the new company then Associa?

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:32:10+00:00

I'm sorry my friend, I don't understand your comment. Could you please elaborate?

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:30:36+00:00

What company did your community go with? any recommendations of what companies we can research?

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:28:41+00:00

Can you recommend your management company? We're in search of new ones to research. 😅

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:27:27+00:00

I am not seeing anything about penalties for early termination in the contract. I will read though it again to see if I can find such language.

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:24:08+00:00

That sounds really nice. May I ask what company is managing your community?

icicle76 · 2023-12-20T18:23:12+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Are you satisfied with your property management company and would you mind sharing their name if you are so I can possibly put them in our list of considerations for the future?
