Customer Rating: Summary: Great HOA Book Comment: This book is well written without a lot of "fluffy" space filling verbiage. It gets to points quickly and the organization is very good. If you are involved in an HOA this book will really help. Get your state HOA rules/regs, along with this book, and you will be able to get a handle on your responsibilities as either a HOA board member or a HOA member. Great price too. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Source for Novice Board Members Comment: I read this book before I was elected as President of my HOA and, boy, am I glad I did. "The HOA Manual" is an excellent resource that I turn to again and again. I highly recommend this book to those who are becoming involved in Committees or Boards of HOAs. Customer Rating: Summary: Homeowners Associations for Dummies Comment: This book is written for the layman who finds himself involved in a Homeowners Association for the first time. It contains all the basics that you really need to know in a few easy-to-read chapters. The sample forms, notices and letters at the end are a real bonus for the novice association officer. I found the book very helpful, though I'm sure someone more experienced in running a homeowners association will find it a bit superficial. Customer Rating: Summary: The Homeowners Association Manual Comment: I have not received the book. It was shipped to Wyoming.
