I never was able to view our records in all of 2012 as Secretary of the Board!
2 Comments
I took forum off for 2011 as I was on the Board as the Secretary and I was not happy with the way the Board . I have little to say for that year. I'm told that this year looks promising. Regardless, the FORUM will be available for comments.
Any suggestions or comments? This is your place and chance to speak up.
Some of you may have noticed that our lawns are being covered with a fast spreading weed. This weed is called Round Broadleaf Spurge. It is difficult to get rid of and worse it leaves thousands of seeds.The seeds then become more weeds and so it goes. Somehow we have to get this under control. I'm sure that after you look at the page I found on this weed you will agree. See HERE. More at This Site.
Common types of deeds and titles. They include Certificate of Title, Final Judgment Quieting Title, Warranty Deed, Tax Deed, Quitclaim Deed, and Grant Deed.Many people associate a certificate of title with cars, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. But it can also be applied to real estate ownership. When you need to show legal evidence of ownership, in this case real estate property, a Certificate of Title is required. As mentioned above, before one can transfer a deed, he must show Certificate of Title to the property. A title company or attorney writes the Certificate of Title regarding the property title's status. Any liens against the property are also evidenced.Oftentimes, a title may have an encumbrance associated with it. For example, there may be several undisclosed liens, liabilities, or false descriptions regarding title to a specific real estate property. A final judgment from a court is used to remove these encumbrances on a title. This judgment "quiets" the title or re-establishes title, free of any stains. This is called a Final Judgment Quieting Title.A situation may arise where a grantor or seller needs to guarantee that she is the holder of title to a specific piece of real estate. A General Warranty Deed guarantees that she is the clear title holder of the property, and she can sell it to a prospective buyer. It not only guarantees current ownership of the property but details the history of the property. A common type of deed, a Warranty Deed validates the grantor title and protects against any title defects in the prospective buyer's eyes.Failure to pay real property, income, or other taxes may result in a tax lien. A tax lien is used to expedite delinquent tax payments. If payment is still not received after several notices, the property may be held by the local government agency and sold at public auction or foreclosure sale. Upon purchase of the property at the sale, the buyer or investor is conveyed a Tax Deed on the property.Another situation may arise when a grantor's (owner's) interest in a specific piece of real estate wants to transfer the deed to someone else. A Quitclaim Deed clears title to the property. The grantor or deed holder gives up his interest in the property. The grantee receives the property and assumes all risks. No guaranties or warranties are made on the title. (This may be a case where a Warranty Deed is needed.) Several Web sites offer free quit claim deed forms on the Internet.A Grant Deed is different than a Quitclaim Deed in that a Grant Deed contains evidence that the person conveying the property is the actual, legal title holder, free from encumbrances.
The only objection I have is we do not know all the details regarding this purchase therefore we can't form an intelligent opinion. I find it not wise to make these kids of investments, but no one seems to know the details.

12:31 P.M. April 15, 2010 Dear Eve, I'm trying to understand the contractual arrangement/agreement between the Hidden Pines Homeowners Association [HOA] and Quality Condo Management [QCM]. What are the services rendered and other misc, services provided and performed on behalf of the Hidden Pines HOA by QCM ? I understand the services rendered by most CAMs but I'm not clear on what QCM does for the Hidden Pines HOA. I don't want to assume that the services listed on your website are what we receive. I'd like to know what services are performed and if there is a contract that spells out those services?For example, if the HOA is contracting out construction are you informed? If so, how is the QCM CAM involved in the process? Are there written and signed contracts for all work performed. Again, as an example, is there a comprehensive written, signed and dated pool contract that details the services to be performed. What about the lawn care? Is there a signed contract indicating the specific services to be performed by the lawn company with the cost, dated and signed.What is the process regarding bids for all of the above?What is the relationship between QCM and the treasurer of Hidden Pines HOA? Does the treasurer receive copies of the all contracts and invoices?As a resident of the community I'm merely trying to get a grasp of how this all works .In order to do that I need to understand exactly what QCM does. I've been in Real Estate for 42 years and I'd like to understand the procedure. Perhaps a copy of the contract between Hidden Pines HOA and QCM will answer all of these questions. Is there one? Ernest Hatton If you are interested in knowing what the rules are and want a form to remove a tree write to us using the CONTACT PAGE and we'll send you the NSB requirements.
Should more than one bid be required, or sought, on all vendor/contractor bids over ?1,000?
