Ever heard of someone buying a home, only to discover it came with a whole set of rules they didn't know about? 😳

HOAs are more common in Canada than most people realize, and the fine print matters. Miss something before signing and you could find yourself unable to refinance or sell until a lien is removed.

A good breakdown of how they work and what to look for is linked below. 📋📲 And if you're looking to buy in a new development, reach out before you sign anything!
