Download or read book Your Home Is Your Castle written by Richard S. Blumenfeld and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Home is Your Castle was written by Richard Blumenfeld as a manual for those interested in the management of residential homeowner associations. Years ago, developers saw homeowner associations as troublesome components of their primary function to build and successfully sell housing. The popularity of homeowner associations forced developers to rethink their philosophy and include associations as a part of their offering. Unfortunately, many do not understand the complexity of homeowner associations. Developers take shortcuts and the results are often disaster. Homeowners feel secure that their homeowner association will protect their home’s values and enhance their quality of life. However, they seldom understand their responsibilities and the work that goes into making an HOA a success. Homeowner associations must be operated as a business, and there is no room for personal agendas. Understanding of case law applicable to homeowner associations is mandatory. Do owners read their Declaration of Covenants and do they understand the bylaws of their community? Do developers strive to create a set of HOA documents that are appropriate for their homeowners? Your Home is Your Castle is a common sense road map that can be followed by developers, homeowners, management companies, and those considering entering the HOA management business.
