Re: Good/bad areas around Brodheadsville?
I agree with Dredley that foreclosures (and FSBOS, distress sales etc) can be a good deal. But, you have to be VERY careful about condition. A house in foreclosure or in danger of it may not have had good maintenance for a while. If it is empty, find out if it went through a winter without heat. Dampness and humidity can cause problems with mold, warped floors and woodwork and can deteriorate plaster and sheetrock. Banks and mortgage companies can throw monkey wrenches into deals re foreclosures. Some RE offices now advertise themselves as specialists in this field. An inspection BEFORE making an offer can be very useful (you may wind up avoiding a house with big problems) but getting access from a bank/mortgage co. can be tough. You pay nothing for a RE agent (the seller pays). Rent good advice (a buyers broker etc as I mentioned in an earlier post) and don't try to re-invent the wheel. It's been done already. I am not in the business. I used to advise veterans re the use of the VA Loan Guaranty benefit. I used it myself with the help of a top rated Buyers Broker(+GRI, CRS, Realtor). Learned from him and added to my speech.

Re: Good/bad areas around Brodheadsville?
IML... want a list?
1. No hunting, shooting, discharging firearms
2. Speeding striclty enforced by private "security force"
3. Need to check in and out all guests
4. dues suck, no value added for it, lower house values
5. Advanced notice of oversize vehicles (moving truck), need to be out by a certain time or the gate shuts down and you can't get out
need more? haha, my brother lived in there for a while... fucking hated it, I went to visit him twice, hate that place.The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

I'd live in a tent before I'd live under the rule of another HOA.

Re: Good/bad areas around Brodheadsville?
Have to agree with this one. When we first moved up here we lived in PCP (back when it was still a nice place to live) the guy we rented from kept trying to get us to buy it but the regulations just pissed me off big time, stuff like:
Can only paint your house certain colors
Can't have a yard sale
Any major changes to the property (landscaping etc) had to be approved by the board.
Can't have large veggie gardens
Sorry but that's not owning a home, that's damn near leasing a property from a community.

Re: Good/bad areas around Brodheadsville?
HOA's are for city folk and suburbanites that want to live in country with “civility.”
If you want to live in the sticks get used to having neighbors with chickens, and few derelict vehicles. Otherwise stay where you are. We’ll all be happier in long run.FUCK BIDEN
