Overthrowing a Bad HOA. Anyone ever done it?

[Matt Nico]

Hi BP,

I was wondering if anyone on here has ever had a big enough problem with an HOA that they managed to remove the members from office, voted yourself into office, or managed to convince someone that something is not being done properly? I have a property where they are banning on street parking (6 bedroom homes with 2 parking spot driveways), don't allow any landscaping improvements, and no driveway expansions.

This community I am referencing is fairly small (68 homes total). I really like the community, and my plan was to buy a handful of other houses in the development until I control the majority voting of the quorum, and can vote myself, my wife, and possibly another investor into office and then improve the community the way it should be done. I would allow limited on street parking, use common areas as parking, improve the landscaping at the front entrance, and allow the homeowners to improve their own properties.

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Matt
