HOA Hall of Shame pt. 2: Homeowners outraged over comments recorded in a board meeting

ALL HOAs should be made illegal

I would live in a cardboard box before I would buy a home with an HOA!!!!!!

What a bunch of losers cheating and scamming their neighbors

I was in the Navy for 21 years and never once heard the term “jelly butt buddy”….this is probably one of those guys that got medically discharged in 2 months but still calls himself a veteran…he’s taking the entire year’s HOA dues from 5-7 families and paying it to himself for gas???

I was on the board for our little subdivision of 63 houses for several years. Like this one. All we had was a park with a gazebo. We added a small shed but it was just a little garden shed and we use it to keep a barbecue and tables in that we use for summer events. Our dues run a little over $200. A year. That pays for maintenance and of the park, lighting and insurance. Every penny is accounted for and all the documents went online for anybody to look at. We also tried to stay pretty chill as far as enforcement. Sometimes something comes up that you have to deal with, but if you're literally out there with a ruler measuring people's lawns, you're not doing anyone any favors.

The sad part is that they will probably use HOA money to pay lawyers to help cover their corrupt behavior. Hopefully they make recordings of this news article and distribute it to all the homeowners. Then get that weasel out of office and put the plaque in the shed.

I could watch days of these. HOA’s are so dirty

A license to steal

All HOAs, especially in Nevada, need to be fully audited and monitored by both a State and independent board entity. I have seen HOA leaders suddenly come upon some huge and oddly convenient windfalls. Especially since the HOA rates have been shooting up in Las Vegas. There is a ton of corruption going on, and no actual accountability.

Why are HOAs allowed? I will never ever buy a house that is under an hoa, a karens dream...

Shame on NRED. These homeowners need help. The kind of help that NRED is supposed to exist to provide. And yet, NRED says, the problem is an internal one with the HOA? That is exactly the problem. The homeowners can't get through the "internal" workings of their HOA. This is not only a problem for Four Winds. It's a problem for everyone who owns a home in Common Interest Community in Nevada.

The idea of dealing with an HOA makes the dream of home ownership as unappealing as it is nigh impossible.

The criminals are running everything. Power corrupts! Absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Having previously rented a house in an HOA neighborhood, I’m so glad I bought a house out in the country that I could paint rainbow colors if I wanted to. Imagine buying a house, being lucky enough to fully pay it off, and then having to, on top of paying property taxes, pay a bunch of Karens FOREVER to tell you that your grass is too long, you’re not allowed to put up that fence, etc. And then they steal a bunch of money from you and talk shit about you in their secret board meetings. No thank you.

Toddler mentality from these HOA board members.

How are these acts not fraud or at least contrary to code, rules and regulations? Did the board file 1099's to the IRS & to the recipient... Did he report those reimbursements on his tax returns?

IRS needs to audit the mileage deductions because they look like a scam.

Just in the US there are so many HOA with so much power.

Apt name... four winds... because that is exactly where your money is going...

Our Hoa said if we have an audit the fees will go up to cover the costs
