That makes sense- thanks for the specifics.

What is the deal with your yard? Seems to me Hamlet should be the one to fix the issue if they did the landscaping. I do think it is overkill to inspect backyards, though. That kinds bugs me, but it isn't something I am too worried about.

As for HOA issues . . . if the homeowners would all pay their dues like they are supposed to, I am guessing things would be a lot better financially and it wouldn't be as big of an issue. If we actually have 20% not paying their dues . . well then, of course there will be problems.
