CRUSHING THE HOA 101

June 15, 2024

Crushing the Hoa 101 is not difficult when one understands the fact when the Hoa is threatening to foreclosure, they are lien jumping. We stop that scheme by attacking the mortgage fraud, and or the illegal foreclosure process, and forcing the HOA to share the liability tor the real estate deed fraud issue that lined you up for their illegal HOA scheme. Some folks have a tough time swallowing this game plan because they don’t feel like the game plan related to their case. These folks have their head in the conspirator’s conventional legal system. We have learned how to sue the HOA, as well as the lender (if you are not in foreclosure), and any other parties that signed to assist in the theft of your property. Crushing the HOA 101 teaches you how to take control and how to instigate for other fraud related issues that may be taking place in the HOA.

Common Types of HOA Fraud

As the size and responsibilities of HOAs have increased over the years, the potential for fraud has also gone up. While there can be a wide range of tactics used by unscrupulous board members or management companies to deceive their communities, here are some of the most common types of HOA fraud to watch for.

Theft or Embezzlement of HOA Funds

Embezzlement of HOA funds typically occurs in small amounts over a long period, and in some cases may go undetected for years or even decades – the average time is about 18 months. With HOA funds this could happen as a digital or physical withdrawal by an authorized person to their personal account or fake business account created for stealing funds.

Intentionally Lying on HOA Finances & Documents

There are numerous ways someone can lie or alter HOA documents for personal gain. For example, a manager, employee, or board member might inflate the number of items purchased on an invoice or return a purchase they have been reimbursed for and pocket the extra cash.

Bribes & Kickbacks

Often, board members control lucrative contracts for local vendors. Kickbacks can occur when a single board member, or group of members, conspire to receive gifts, favors, or money from a contractor in exchange for HOA contracts.

How HOA Fraud Impacts a Community

When any form of theft occurs within an HOA, it can have far-reaching impacts. Funds can be recovered by insurance or through other legal means, but this isn’t always the case. In some instances, it can be years before complete restitution is made. In the meantime, your association will have to continue to operate and pay their bills in full. Worse yet, when large scale fraud occurs, it may impact your association’s ability to borrow money or continue to operate in the same way it did in the past.

Signs HOA Board Members Might be Stealing

Every member of an HOA board should be on the lookout for potential fraud. Some of the most common signs of HOA fraud include:

  • Bank statements & balance sheets that don’t match
  • Payments made to vendors that don’t exist or who are not qualified for the services provided
  • Multiple, or unusually high, payments for unbudgeted purchases
  • Unnecessary repairs being made
  • Suspicious looking or forged signatures appearing on HOA documents
  • Lack of support for reimbursement requests, credit card statements, or general check requests

How to Investigate Suspicious HOA Activity

If you suspect theft or fraud has taken place within your association, then there are steps you can take to protect yourself. If you’re a board member, consider gathering any documents that may confirm your suspicions. Honest mistakes can happen, but it’s critical you have a paper trail to establish any potential claims of fraud before the documents could be lost or destroyed.

Depending on where you live, homeowners and board members may have the right to request HOA documents, including information on financial statements, reserves, and audits. It may also be within your powers, depending on your association bylaws, to call a special meeting to discuss the possibility that theft has already occurred. In some cases, law enforcement should be involved. In these instances, you can report a theft to your local sheriff’s department for investigation.

Coach Neighbors

Coach Guy Neighbors Coach Guy Neighbors is the founder of Pro Se Legal School, a higher education platform built to help self-represented individuals better understand the current administrative court process and shift them from their current position to one of authority. Pro Se Legal School's higher education program will help you jump-start your critical thinking process. You will learn how to structure your unconventional game plan when facing serious legal challenges. For many years, Coach Neighbors has coached and studied the experiences of self-represented litigants dealing with foreclosure, eviction, debt collection, property disputes, civil lawsuits, and other court proceedings across the country. He developed his strategies and continually refined them through real-time feedback from people using these approaches and reporting what happened in their cases. His work grew from recognizing a recurring problem: everyday people often enter court focused entirely on proving they are right while the process continues moving against them. They may not know how to question jurisdiction, standing, judicial authority, due process, notice, procedural violations, or whether important objections have been addressed. That observation became the foundation of Coach Neighbors' unconventional approach to court education. Instead of teaching people to simply react to whatever is filed against them, he teaches self-represented individuals how to use the counterclaim process to add the state, the judge, and the prosecutor to their administrative action as litigants, examine the process itself, identify potential problems, preserve objections, create a record, develop their own claims and challenges, and determine what needs to happen next to protect their due process. A central principle of his approach is that you do not always have to win the entire case today. The immediate objective is to stop the next step, force an unanswered issue onto the record, protect your position, and prevent important constitutional and procedural questions from simply being ignored. As a coach, Coach Neighbors works directly with self-represented individuals to help them understand what is happening in their cases and develop a game plan to protect their due process. His work is especially focused on people facing situations where their homes, property, money, credit, family security, or ability to be heard may be at stake. Through Pro Se Legal School, Coach Neighbors has developed higher educational programs, courses, document examples, workshops, live training, coaching programs, and document systems designed around the problems self-represented people encounter. His work also extends into ongoing public education through live streams and workshops where he breaks down court procedures, documents, strategies, due process issues, and real-world problems in language ordinary people can understand. After approximately 17 years, the mission remains simple: give self-represented people information, structure, higher education, and a different way of looking at the court process so they are better prepared to stop the next step, instead of simply watching the process happen to them.
