You need to consider when you buy a house if it has a Home Owners Association (HOA). An HOA fee is an added cost that you must pay, usually monthly, on top of your mortgage.

HOAs generally get a bad rap, but we found some people who actually appreciate their HOA. According to a popular internet forum, here are ten reasons people genuinely love their HOA.

The upkeep of these common areas is all covered by the fees that the residents pay, which means they can enjoy them without having to be the ones to maintain them.
