Colorado construction defect statutes and affordability – Independent American Communities https://t.co/CvKU0Qpf9P — Mike Foxworth (@ALTALOMAN) January 30, 2016 HOMEOWNERS in common interest developments (aka HOAs) are not alone in their concern about construction defects found long after their purchase of real estate. This, of course, is a matter of the law where homeowners need expert legal advice and representation. Because the fact that lawyers for the other side in these complaints are hired to defend builders and developers with deep pockets, the counsel representing the homeowners or HOA must be experienced and successful in representing plaintiffs in such cases.   VIDEO  is not an endorsement for any law firm, but an educational presentation to help homeowners caught in this dilemma.

As I have revealed before, in November 2011 we moved into our current residence, what we expected to be our final home purchase for retirement.  We also moved into a common interest development (CID or HOA, homeowners association) of 1317 units, including 170 condos (our choice).  Little did I know then what I know now.  Not that there are some benefits, pleasures, and perks that come with HOA living. My caveat: Just weigh all the facts before you make that purchase. While you are reading the lead story of this clip, make sure you visit the many reader comments on the topic.

Foreclosure is a legal process in which a lender attempts to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments to the lender by forcing the sale of the asset used as the collateral for the loan. The foreclosure process can be started by homeowners associations (HOAs) and common interest developments, but not without some careful consideration and following the laws of California or other states.
