    Portola Springs Massive HOA fee increase + special assessment

    Considering other communities have kept their HOA fees steady for 20 years, a 20% increase is quite unexpected. And as someone who bought his home a long time ago, it was a far cry from a million bucks. Lastly, people don't save up money by ignoring recurring expenses .

    Portola Springs Massive HOA fee increase + special assessment

    True. The extra $27.80/month will cost $1,668.00 over 5yrs and is a lot more significant than the $100 special assessment.

    Portola Springs Massive HOA fee increase + special assessment

    My guess is that the HOA management company (KPPM) and the Irvine Company have their hands taking from the pot. KPPM takes an 11% management fee so a large increase will be a huge windfall to them. They then charge us for most of their services on top of that fee rather than covering their...

    Portola Springs Massive HOA fee increase + special assessment

    Has anyone else heard of special assessments / massive fee increases while a community is still being built out? We were told that we could expect the fees to be lowered upon complete build out. - Irvine Company still controls our board (2 out of 3 seats) - Reason given for this is "Increased...

    Fake news. It's actually the natural gas plants that have been causing the vast majority of the lost wattage. I know it doesn't fit your narrative. Don't get facts get in the way of a good narrative...

    Request for realtor review

    I believe that when selling tract homes that are generally affordable (right now that means under $1.25-1.50 million), your best listing strategy is to list for slightly under comps. Let's say you think you can get $750k+ for your home. List it for $699k! There are probably numerous people with...

    The Elephant in the room

    A good rule of thumb. If you aren't sure where you should stand on an issue, look around and see who stands with you. If it's Nazis, you are probably on the wrong side of the issue. If it's scientists, generals, and other experts, you are probably on the correct side...
