More online findings: a youtube channel on the bad condition of the community, with a dedicated gmail account. Interesting with current residents creating negative reviews and posts, they don't think it'll have repercussions and scare off buyers? Especially when they declare they will be happy...

Really? Where I am currently at, we've cycled through two management companies and on our third one... been here for less than 10 years.

Yup

HOA documents: reserves are low (may lead to special assessments), a recent litigation against HOA, not approved for FHA loans, meeting minutes where several units have significant balances to association, -- still need to read more My online readings: Several unhappy residents over recent...

There is probably another thread on bad HOAs Currently reading HOA documents and trying to read them carefully. Also curious what the online reviews had to say about the association, yikes.

Starting this thread here because I went through a home inspection today, property not in Irvine -heh. Due to schedule conflicts, the seller's agent gave access and was there the entire time. Would people be wary of this? It felt like some undue pressure to hurrying or say some issues are...

Update 5.5: Requested to see in person a property owned by Z1ll0w. I hope they don't stay silent if they are just looking for backup offers. (insert crying face emoji) This afternoon, have additional places to look at but still traumatized from last experience.

Though post is from 2015- I wondered how this story ended up.

Is the seller obligated or out of courtesy to tell the visiting buyer that "escrow is going to open in the morning, but feel free to check out the place"? I'm aware of instances with people still visiting properties with full knowledge that it has opened escrow. However, I stepped onto the...

Prop 19

Update 4: My agent accompanied me to see a property in the morning, within same day my offer was submitted but my agent found out the property opened escrow in the morning. They did not indicate to my agent that property was going to open escrow or inform of any offer.  The place was listed by...

When I went through the process, I used one of the landscapers who left a flyer on my doorstep. They are typically familiar with the submittal to HOAs. We customized our yard and made sure it was within the specs, the landscaper drew up the plans. I wouldn't say the blueprint was professionally...

Does the plan need to be approved by the HOA?

Made another offer on another property, a few "stronger" offers ahead of me that are financed and so lost to those. It's not in Irvine. The situation isn't pressing, but getting annoyed with the limited choices.  One fewer buyer competitor atleast?

Did my first offer, lost to another presumed cash buyer.

Thank you for your kind and patience with your response.

As my quest continues... Have another question for y'all. For proof of funds, it feels strange to submit where the selling agent and seller gets to see it? Feels so personal.  Is this standard or being led astray?

I missed the one and only open house this weekend and my agent went, seller only interested in all cash and no contingency offers. My agent commented there were 15 groups of people visiting on Sunday. I think the seller will get what they want from someone. Is the buyer being lead astray or...

So it's just a Bay Area thing... for now? I am familiar as I saw what my relatives and friends went through early 2010s and also a Bay Area native.

Is this a new thing now: sellers only accepting cash offers and all contingencies waived? The property that was in serious consideration is a townhome (3/3) built in the 80s. Is it possible attempt an inspection and backing out if the findings would be too costly to buyer to be OK w/ "as-is"?
