Things You Should Know About HOA In Las Vegas

[@swlc5555]

Towards the end you addressed one of my major concerns with an HOA that is already on the high side. The fear that within a few years of my buying a place that they will jack up the price significantly. A $300 a month HOA becomes a $450 a month HOA four or five years down the line.😧

[@alwells7629]

Thanks for the heads-up

[@LasVegasGal]

You bet. 🙂

[@rasawyer]

I have 2 HOAs up here where Steve got me a house... but they really take care of stuff and am happy with everything. Just listen to Steve is the advice.

Bought a house about 1.5 year ago. HOA has been a nightmare. Always anxious then I open my mailbox. So much for the "American Dream". 7 violations in the 1.5 year. Most of them don't even make sense. Like weed on the front lawn I couldn't even see with my eyes. I had to send them a picture and they drew circles on the picture for me. The weeds were so small. They charge $50/week if you don't address the issue in the given amount of time. Great video for people who wouldn't know this like me. And ya I pay $75/month for them to abuse me like this. But my bro in Summerlin pays $30 been there over 3 years he has no issue. so it depends I guess. I hate mine. just ranting I guess. lol

[@LasVegasGal]

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re having trouble!! Hang in there!

[@christineblichfeldt8401]

I hate them too! They seem to hustle only certain people!

No way in hell would I buy in an HOA! F that shit! There are plenty of homes without an HOA. A friend of mine got a notification because a tree died in her front yard, and there was a bit of rust on a side gate, "upper left corner". They really didn't like it when we went around and took note of all the rust on gates, dead or dead shrubs that were removed and not replaced in the common areas that the HOA was "supposed" to be maintaining. After bringing this up with pictures at the meeting, everyone decided to wait to fix their issues until the HOA lead by example and fixed the issues that had been neglected by the HOA. Also, if you have pedestrian gates. Make sure the latch is coverd on the inside, otherwise someone only needs to put their fingers around and push it in to open that gate. Then the home invaders simply exit in one of the cars from a homeowners garage.

[@LasVegasGal]

I understand...there are definitely some horror HOA stories out there....

[@slugo597]

Thanks for the info

[@LasVegasGal]

No problem 👍

[@tomf7551]

Is it true to be a part of an HOA board you need to be over the age of 65, lonely and have a minimum of 7 "Karen" like characteristics? 🤔

[@twistedvisionary]

Also in California, HOA's can raise dues 20% each year without a Homeowner vote. Luckily my HOA hasn't raised dues in 10 years and the raise was really small when they raised it this past year.

[@LasVegasGal]

You are really lucky!

[@ladyvictoria2338]

Good information.

[@LasVegasGal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Alessandro1983]

I'm in California ( San Diego County area ). First time home buyer. I was thinking about buying a duplex and/or triplex as a house hacking investment with 3.5 down with an FDA loan. I was checking Las Vegas but I didn't see many options for Duplexes and/or triplexes. Plus, I am not a fan of endlessly paying HOA. And the fact that some( if not most areas ) keep increasing their HOA yearly. Someone convince me otherwise, please.

[@LasVegasGal]

YES!!! We don't have a lot of duplexes in Vegas, sadly. We can always look and hunt down the ones that are availble! HOA here is a lot different than HOA in California. I really like them as long as the rules are reasonable as they do help keep the value of the home and neighborhood stable.

[@Lululila67]

We just bought in a better area of North LV and our HOA rules say no reptiles and no "insects". So they basically are telling you what you can can inside your home which isnt okay. Insects would include pet scorpions/ tarantulas etc.

[@LasVegasGal]

Hey @Lululila67, the HOAs in Las Vegas do have their pros and cons. So sorry to hear they are limiting you from the kind of pet you'd like to have. Do they, at least, explain why they have elected to implement that particular regulation?

[@hobbsthehobbyist]

What about Town Center Estates HOA? Anyone familiar

[@bernarditabelisario6109]

Why is it so difficult to get a copy of th😮e HOA bylaws before buying in

[@LasVegasGal]

😮 Yeah, I heard some stories about how difficult it can be. But as a back up protocol, you might want to have all your questions ready about living in places with HOAs. I usually have my clients prepare questions about their deal breakers.

[@Homeofcards570]

Where your picnic basket?

[@rogermckee2770]

The Bylaws of a HOA does the potential home owner get to see them before or after they close on the property

[@gotyor]

The sellers should pay the hoa to get you copy of all documents. this usually happens within the first two weeks in escrow. You should always write in that your offer to purchase is contingency on you getting to review all those documents and agreeing to those terms. This way if you dont like what you see you can back out of deal with no repercussions.

[@maeseneo]

Yeah..Interesting..I Saw Many Channels About LV..Cause I Would Like To Move There..But I See Too Many Terms and Conditions..at Least To Start Working In a Simple Vacant..It Seem Like Other World In USA..Really Very Confusing as Well..Anyway..Still Trying To Understand How To Live with No Issues..Before To Go..Greetings.

[@LasVegasGal]

Don't let HOA's scare you....there are definitely some that you really need to understand, but there are also some wonderful communities you don't have to go crazy trying to understand them. Let us know how our team can help by connecting with us here: bit.ly/LVGRealEstate

[@christineblichfeldt8401]

Are you familiar with NV Community Management

[@LasVegasGal]

Hey @Christine Blichfeldt! Are those the same as HOAs?

[@midwestslim]

Do Hoa's have radar?

[@LasVegasGal]

Yes some of them have invested in that technology to keep the neighborhood safe

[@bigbake132]

The only thing to know about HOA is NOT to buy a house that has one. That's all.

[@LasVegasGal]

They can be a challenge. But not ALL HOA are terrible. I've received a few comments from people who really love their HOA. 😀

[@Lani-Grace]

I live in CA however need a tax attorney that treats me rightfully so....does anyone know? 👀

[@Robert-eg2oy]

I would only live in an HOA, I love HOA’s.

[@LasVegasGal]

There definitely is a beauty to HOAs....

[@travelingwithdave8214]

If you are buying a house, and there’s an HOA, you are insane. They do absolutely nothing for you, but they limit your ability to enjoy your home. Never!

[@LasVegasGal]

Thank you for taking a moment to review this video and sharing your thoughts. While there are definitely a few HOAs that I would not want to be following, there are also some HOAs that are worth it. I always advise clients to really get to know what you're getting into before you get blindsided by HOA rules.

[@BridgieNix]

Desert shores racquet club is the worse. Very outdated laws from the 90s when it was once a retirement resort? It’s far from a resort and most people buying houses are now millennials or gen z and work from home. They don’t allow you to work from home or in your garage, won’t let you park in your own driveway, there is absolute zero street parking for home owners, tenants, or guests, and then just random overflow lots that aren’t on every street and are a hike from certain homes they assign you if you don’t have room in garage for cars. The lots are often full & then when they’re full and you park in your driveway, you’ll still get a violation. Then the street parking outside of the neighborhood only is allowed until 10 pm. It’s insane. Also this idea that people are just going to have driveway parties of broken down vehicles is a very outdated society elitist belief. Having lived in ten states and every Us time zone, this just isn’t a thing in HOA communities. It’s such a weird paranoia that I think only bored people really think is going to happen.

[@LasVegasGal]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry to see that they were acting a little more strict in their community. I gotta admit, that's the first I've heard of it.... but good to let others know what you experienced!

[@ronthefuture8827]

I have an HOA. I like the one I have. Your right it helps people keep up on the houses so the neighborhood don't go down in value. Have to keep the house value up. Great video 😃👍

[@LasVegasGal]

HOAs are definitely not all bad...people just have to find one that's right for them. :-)

[@koala6607]

Well we re in Vegas and our HOA is run by a criminal embezzler charging $1000 for throwing away a bag of garbage! Go somewhere else wit your video! 😅

[@LasVegasGal]

😮

[@brettralston3599]

Vegas Hoa’s are awful!

[@LasVegasGal]

There are definitely some that are not great, but there are some that are fair.
