I am not an attorney, but it should be fine if it is disclosed, and if it is in your bi-laws for one paid position.
If you want a definitive answer then ask a local attorney.

We are a seventeen unit condo association in Michigan, with seven members serving on the board. One them gets paid for being our accountant. Is this payment legal?

Missy, I find the same thing here. While people like the fact that HOA’s keep things “in line” they hate the persistence with which it is sometimes done. More often than not, my buyers will tell me to look for homes without HOA’s.

Missy – I think HOA’s can have a positive impact on the neighborhood. But being inflexible in situations such as yours with Allyssa and an oversight with the neighbor having the house sitter doesn’t help the quality of community.

I sell a lot of townhomes in Minneapolis. My experience has been mostly positive with the HOA’s. I have never lived where there is an HOA, myself, so I don’t know how I would feel about it as a homeowner. Sometimes, the homeowners complain, but when it comes to sell, a well-run HOA will ensure that there are no junk cars on the front yard, or unsightly structural additions.

You would think they would’ve called sooner to see WHAT WAS UP vs. criticizing the ramp for Alyssa. It’s no wonder people show up with their swords drawn when answering the door for anyone from the HOA!

Missy – If my clients do not want an HOA, I don’t show them. Now determining which is picky and which is not is a personal prefernce which I could not decide for the client.
