HOA Warrior I: 20 Tactics to fight your board all the way to court if necessary

by Shelly Marshall

Overview

Is it worth it to fight for your property rights? The first in a series, this first volume answers those questions.

Most people don't realize the broad sweeping powers that a board of directors have over your life when you buy a home in an association or a condominium. In fact, you won't know it until you are in crisis. But Shelly Marshall, owner/advocate, has paved a path for you. This book leads the homeowner step by step in how to use everything at their disposal in order to take on and effect change with management or your association Board of Directors. Taken from her personal experience with an out of control board, where the homeowners united and won their rights back, you can learn from her personal stories as well as the many stories of other homeowners who take on the good fight. Your association attorneys, management and the board should not be allowed to intimidate owners.

Protect your home and homeowner rights. This book contains links for resources and information you need. Don't let an Association run over you, but run after you for your expertise! This book lays the very basic foundation for the beginner so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Valuable guidelines continue in HOA Warrior II, Responding to Pets, Paint & Parking in your Association. This first book is where you begin-- then forms, letters, and samples are presented in Volume II along with advice for when you run for the board. These books offer hope and insight into the issues that baffle homeowners when they wake up one day and realize they don't actually own their home in an association. Take heart, as people wake up, unite, and get serious about taking back our rights, we get stronger. You will too.

About the Author

Originally Shelly was a hippie out to save the world with LOVE. But it didn't take long to understand that her best thoughts had little effect on the ways of the world. No matter how many daisies she stuck in the barrel of a cop's gun, it didn't do diddly for making the world a safer place.

Because of her innate sense of fairness, her degree in Human Services was a natural. She is a published researcher in peer reviewed journals and has recently published research on associations and how boards abuse members. Shelly is a writer of self-help books in the field of addiction and verbal abuse; she works with alcoholics and their families around the world; she is a guest speaker and trainer for counselors. Her work as a Homeowner Advocate for HOA law came from personal experience. Learn what the homeowners in her association learned—her experience will benefit the person just beginning the battle in HOA hell.

Her association, which was a David and Goliath type of battle, was eventually won. Shelly and 225 of her closet neighbors won the battle. She is now considered an advocate for homeowners rights and is working to help abolish as many associations as possible.

Editorial Reviews

Shelly Marshall and her neighbors have been through the HOA wringer, they kept notes and Shelly has written a terrific book that walks homeowners through the process of first, understanding the structure of the HOA, then giving excellent advice on how to resolve problems and avoid costly litigation and also how to handle going to court when all else fails. Shelly's book, complete with great illustrations, is a step by step guide on how to proceed through the legal quagmire: the HOA monster.

On the Commons Radio Show - Shu Bartholomew

If you were foolish enough to buy into a Home Owners Association (HOA) and you want to stay YOU NEED THIS BOOK! The advice provided is sound and comes with many examples of practical applications to most any situation you find yourself. Examples include paying what they demand ($2000 or less) all the way to taking them to court to protect the rights of yourself and your fellow home owners.

Board of Directors, HVPOA - Clifford Johnson

Well, I was skeptical at first because so few important books are written about the national disgrace known as the Homeowners Association Movement. But Shelly Marshall has certainly done her homework. Homeowners Associations have increasingly become the most disgusting institutions in America. Rigged elections, embezzlement, toxic neighborhood environments. Shelly has done her homework {...} on the HOA scam, her eBook is a point-by-point laundry list of things to do to protect yourself {...}
