One more thing... I was quite adamant that my home not be in an HOA community. I'm worried less about artificially inflated property values, and more concerned with personal freedom. There are a lot of rules and laws on the books with the county and city as it is, not to mention the state. No one should have a bunch of nanny neighbors trying to control each other. Not living in an HOA gives me, the home owner, the most power and control.
