When you buy a property that is subject to an association, you are buying a property that is subject to change.

Is your property subject to an association? If so, there may or may not be rules &regulations that you like or don't like. There may be fees with living where you live that you may not have been expecting or anticipating when you purchased. Maybe how you want to use your property has changed and your are wondering if it is ok? Short Term Rentals continue to be a hot topic. Ever thought about adding solar panels to your home?
 
This week Justin is talking with Attorney Jim Slaughter of Law Firm Carolinas to learn about HOAs. The ins and outs. The ups and downs. The pros and cons.
 
What has changed from pre-covid to now when considering the management practices of HOAs? What changes has the North Carolina legislature made to make things easier for associations to govern? All that and more this week on Today's Real Talk.
