Welcome to the HOA Mechanic Podcast with Charlie Meek from R&P Property Managers. In this episode, we explore the often misunderstood distinction between homeowners associations and social organizations. We delve into the core responsibilities of HOAs, which primarily focus on protecting property values, maintaining common areas, and managing finances, rather than engaging in social events.

Join us as we discuss how social activities, like neighborhood barbecues and book clubs, can coexist with the HOA structure without overstepping boundaries or misallocating resources. Charlie argues for preserving the integrity of the association by ensuring its functions align strictly with its intended purpose.
