I thank Baby Jesus every day I don't live under the thumb of an HOA. But damn what kinda tall grass or trash bin left out too long violation gets people the wrath of a tactical butt plug?

it's one thing to rent in an HOA, where it's the landlord's problem. it's another to willing buy where some small dick energy fucks think they have a say over how and what you do. There's a whole subreddit about it. Crazy the shit that shows up. Meanwhile, I sit on my four acres with overly aggressive placement of No Trespassing signs at the perimeter, and regularly doing target practice within view of the one spot that I can be seen doing such. Pretty sure I'm THAT neighbor now lolI thank Baby Jesus every day I don't live under the thumb of an HOA.

Been considering picking up some of that handyman work, any advice on getting in with HOAs? Just quality of work and word of mouth or did you go and specifically target places like 50+ communities and whatnot? Back in my mid 20s, did quite a bit of that kind of work and the guy I worked for had us in the same communities almost on rotation. Roof here, there and there, next hood, landscape this that and the other.i would never ever ever live in an HOA!!!! but with that said i do quite a bit of handyman work on the side and don't even take on new customers anymore. i have two property managers that i get work from in five HOA's really close to me, i get so much work from them that i actually sub most of it out anymore and can't even keep up. those people love to waste money!!!!! and i got my hand out!! hehe

that's about what I figured. appreciate the lay down man. with a full time job and young kids, my time's limited but i'm tired of making someone else's dream a reality and rather be on my own. just gotta replace my golden handcuffs first.i happen to have a long term client that i did electrical work for here and there and he moved into an HOA (against my strong suggestion) and after about a year he became president of the association and got me in on a job and also introduced me to the property manager and she liked my work and quickly became her #1 guy, her previous go to had just retired. then one day in her office i met a second HOA manager of a really big ritzy place and i'm now his go to guy to call for whatever. it happen to just be right place at the right time kind of thing and once i got my foot in i never said no, i took whatever job it was and made sure it was done perfect even if i didn't make much money on it, i made the connection and gave a good impression. property managers like the words "i can take of that" and they love small short updates of good news an just want to hear the job is finished. thats pretty much all they care about. they don't wanna know how you did it, or what it took, they just want it done. short and sweet.
if you're trying to break in i would try to solicit property managers or hoa boards of directors. pick your areas, find the nice ritzy homes and not anything run down too bad. the more upkeep and maintained means more work for you and normally not shit work when it's upkept.
you'll meet the individual home owners as well sometimes and you can always pick up work from them on your own without the manager, i get approached on other jobs constantly, and they also tell their friends and relatives. next thing ya know you need a full time helper and even an overflow guy to just pass entire jobs off to. eventually you can narrow down your client base to just the cream of the crop.
it's a modern business world and proper channels aren't always necessary anymore. i've never advertised a day in my life. when i started my auto detail biz i had business cards made and it turned out i never used a single one. i just ended up going to local places that have a lot of company cars and offered my service. next thing ya know i didn't need to look any further.
don't be afraid to just approach a friendly homeowner outside in a nice development and strike up a conversation. tell them your a handyman looking for work and you were wondering if you could have the property managers name. they're only gonna say no if you don't ask.
This seems like the guy that say “ I was going to join the military but..”I thank Baby Jesus every day I don't live under the thumb of an HOA. But damn what kinda tall grass or trash bin left out too long violation gets people the wrath of a tactical butt plug?

yo, I'm trying to figure out the culture here. What does this mean?
It is of course the current President of Transylvania.What does it mean to you?
And why does every picture have to have a meaning? Why not just enjoy it for what it is? lol

I showed up here after whatever went down on the other site and was never a member there. It doesn't matter where we are, there will be people with different views. I don't see any of that going on in the grow threads that are the meat and potatoes of this site. If I was concerned about seeing views other than my own, I might consider avoiding the off-topic threads. As it is, I'm thick skinned and just laugh at the sh_t that's funny, weather a brief spike in blood pressure at the stuff that isn't, and scroll on.I'm figuring out that you guys seem to be the weirdos that got run off another site. Happens to a lot of forums. In my experience, the breakout site community is usually weird and rooted in the reason why they had to break off the original community. Not being able to help themselves from being bigots of some sort has been a big one. I've seen it many times.
If this place is like that, more power to y'al. I'm glad it got segregated into a toilet.

We are a family here at this point and think most feel that way
There may be some bigots here, certainly non-PC. And people get called out on it - feel free to do so. There are both Trump voters and Trump haters.I'm figuring out that you guys seem to be the weirdos that got run off another site. Happens to a lot of forums.

Granny says: I embrace my weirdness. I’m most thankful for my ability to be a free thinker and not a part of a mindless hive.

Granny says: Do you even know the definition of the word, bigot?
Let me help..
A bigot is a person who has strong, unreasonable beliefs and who does not like other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life as per the Cambridge dictionary.
I believe by the true definition of the word, you may well be a bigot!
We are all valued in here. Different political views, colors, religious preferences.
A little respect and tolerance goes a long way.
Just like me, I don’t hate you because you are narcissistic, controlling, judgmental and condescending. I respect your right to be an ass, but I don’t have to like it. Which btw, I don’t.
