Is it just me, or is it the more that gets done around here, the less we are told about it. I am sure there is a good explanation as to why OUR restrooms are now locked, but it would be nice if the information went out. I am not welcome at the monthly meetings, so I don't get to partake in the conversations that happen there, but we do have two sources of web interaction and one source of mail. Where are the updates? What is going on? Why is it that 3/4 of our complex on lock down? Again, I am sure there is a reason, but it is frustrating to just find things this way.

Commercial Vehicle Parking
I was under the impression that work trucks are not allowed to park in this complex. I have noticed a white work van that is very big parked here. It looks like the owner moves it every couple of days. What can we do to have this vehicle removed to allow parking for residence vehicles only. I parked a work vehicle her for a weekend in the past and had tow stickers put on it. What is the deal?

In California, bidding wars are One of the nuttier elements of the real estate boom has returned. Tess Vigeland explains.
Found on "The Housing Bubble Blog" which is a great source for housing & real estate information and articles.
From NPR http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/03/19/mm-multipleoffers/ “One of the nuttier elements of the real estate boom has returned. Tess Vigeland explains. ‘Kelly Frambach and her husband, Andy, moved into their first home just a few months ago. She’s a 32-year-old office manager for a construction company; he’s 29 and works in tire repair. This California ranch-style home in Chino Hills, just east of Los Angeles, boasts three bedrooms and two baths, 1,200 square feet for them and their seven and nine-year-old kids. They started going to open houses back in mid-2008, just as the market was collapsing.”
“They paid $285,000 for it — ten grand over the asking price — with an FHA-backed 30-year mortgage. Kelly: ‘And we thought it would be easy, because there were sooo many houses for sale. That’s what everybody thinks, but every house we put an offer on, there were so many offers.’”

What are the rules about leaving your garage open?

What are the rules about leaving your garage open? I have noticed one garage open every night for long periods of time. I was under the impression that your garage must be closed when not in use.

HOAs suffer during recession
HOAs suffer during recession
Dispute continues with investors
By Buck Wargo (contact), In Business reporter
Fri, Mar 12, 2010 (3 a.m.)
Foreclosures are taking a toll on some Las Vegas homeowner associations, some of which are closing pools and deferring maintenance as they deal with a drop in revenue.
The financial woes faced by the associations come as they are locked in legal and legislative battles with investors in foreclosed homes who complain they are overcharged for fines and fees by the associations and their collection agencies.
Associations are struggling with their budgets and some have closed pools and clubhouses and cut back on maintenance, including landscaping, said Nicholas Haley, the education and information officer of the state ombudsmen for the owners of common-interest communities and condo hotels office.
Haley’s office takes complaints from homeowners and handles mediation.
“People have complained about the maintenance and what’s been closed down and questioned what are they paying for,” Haley said. “Associations have to balance their budgets, given their communities have faced a lot of foreclosures. Sometimes it is a temporary measure until people start paying their assessments. But you have many people who are retired or out of work and they can’t make up the difference, so the community has to scale back.”

Foreclosures Still Seen Hitting Prices from Wall Street Journal
By JAMES R. HAGERTY
More waves of foreclosures will keep downward pressure on home prices in parts of the U.S. over the next several years, two new studies project.
The studies—by John Burns Real Estate Consulting Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC—both conclude that most efforts to modify loans with easier terms will delay, not prevent, the loss of homes to foreclosure.
The Treasury Department is expected to give its latest update this week on government efforts to avert foreclosures.
The John Burns study estimates that five million houses and condominiums on which mortgages are now delinquent will go through foreclosure or related procedures that put them on the market over the next few years. That would represent the bulk of the estimated 7.7 million households behind on their mortgage payments.

Orange County Register On Loan Modifications
The Orange County Register. “Are all these loan modifications we keep hearing about actually helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, and thus helping the housing market and economy? Tom Mitchell, a senior analyst who covers financial stocks at Miller Tabak & Co., agreed that banks’ modified loans may be skewing the picture.”
“‘We now have to consider the [modified loans] as a kind of shadow group of nonperforming assets,’ Mitchell said. ‘It’s reasonable to say that for most banks, if the loans had not been [restructured], they would have been nonperformers.’”

Gates & Laundry Doors
An Email to Desiree,
I am concerned that there is not proper communication to our
community. Yesterday there was an event occurring in our community
that everyone should have been made aware of. Apparently the police
were looking for loose individuals most likely living in our complex.
Things like this that could be a danger to our residents should be
communicated through email and postings on the locked community board
in the laundry room that I installed just for this purpose. Also, we
have an official community web page that seems not to get updated.
Either it should be taken down or, kept up to date. Otherwise, the
announcements are misleading as to the current state of your
community.
Also, I believe that matters like the one yesterday are a direct
result of our gate always being broken. Also, posting the fact on the
gate instead of a controlled forum such as the ones listed above, only
advises those individuals trespassing as to the current state of your
security. Maybe it is time that the gate are updated with a type that
is more suitable to the kind of use that they see.
Speaking of security, the two doors to the laundry room are not
secured. It does not cost that much to have two steel doors with
PROPER locks installed. We have been battling this issue for at least
4 years. They should just be replaced with commercial steel doors with
commercial locks.
I realize that this all costs money. We have a new budget for 2010 and
I am hoping that these kinds of issues are addressed. As a community,
we have an obligation to budget for and maintain the complex to a
standard that gives way to safety and to hold or increase property
value.
Your company has done an amazing job thus far and has always responded
to any concerns I have had. I hope that your experience has an impact
on the residence, with moderate experience, that make up the board.
Thank you as always for your understanding and professionalism.
Yours,
Kevin Sharp
