We just purchased our retirement home in PCB, 2 blocks from the beach...one of the huge stipulations was..."NO HOA's OR PERPETUAL COMMUNITY FEES". There's no fixed prices on any of this stuff. Many have purchased condos with monthly or annual fees, time shares, only to lose them because the rates got so high they can't afford them anymore. It's similar to the "Buy Here-Pay Here" auto sales lots. No one will ever payoff the car. They will lose it back to the dealer and he/she will continue to resell it, over and over again. Time share is the same way. The "sales pitches" are hard sell to the point many just cave and sign the bottom line just to get out of there. Once you roll into retirement, you roll forward on "fixed income" so to speak. Make sure you are in control of who "fixes" your expenses.
