Pros and Cons of Taking Out a Mortgage for a Home in an HOA Community

As with most things in life, there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages to living in a community governed by a homeowners association (commonly abbreviated as HOA). Aside from lifestyle considerations, financial considerations are also important. Living in an association typically requires the payment of membership dues on a monthly or annual basis.
