Visitor registration

Visitor registration

We are forming a private membership organization. This organization has access to our Common Interest Development registry, as well as property data archives, and a variety of owner benefits. HOAhomepage provides subdivision analysis for the developers in the industry. We are not looking to sell raw data or advertising, for that matter, and still keep this enity private and as secure as possible. However, we do need to cover our costs. We need to know as much as possible about our visitors, before limited access is granted, which is not free. At the end of the form you will required to pay a fee before you can log in. This fee is $1 per month, paid annually, however, until June 30, 2024 a one year visitor subscription is just $1. This is a low bar for granting access, but participation is limited and it is the first step in our vetting process. There are many other levels of access, along with further vetting. We are more interested in relationships with our participants, not high traffic.

Welcome

Writers Collaborative – Please complete the visitor registration as a Non owner.
*If you are here to participate in our Urban Renewal owner occupancy Initiative, make sure you select the UrbanSweat special interest group.

The Common Interest Property Owners Association (CIPOA) supports access for registered visitors, in fact, visitors make an important contribution. We expect that most of you will consider becoming full members of the CIPOA, but you are welcome to remain a visitor. This Visitor Registration is required for everyone, no one can be anonymous. Frankly, we need to vet all individual visitors, to some degree, to help avoid bots and other fake registrations on our site. Our number one member benefit is “privacy” and a commitment to stay private. But, more important, this form walks you through our association; an introduction to how we are structured, and where we are headed. We want to know who you are. The net benefit to you for making this effort is access to statistical data, connecting with specific communities, interacting in forums and the opportunity to join. Even if you don’t own a common interest property and your interest is purely commercial; as long as you agree to be vetted, you can join the association.

The CIPOA allows full registration for owners and by non owners who are part of one of our Special Interest Groups. Any property owner or vetted non owners, can create their own Interest Group, as well, and use the CIPOA to publish, promote and grow participation in their new group.

Have you ever served on the Board of Directors or Committees?

Tenants

All owners of common interest developments are part of the CIPOA.

Tenants who live in a common interest development are allowed to join the CIPOA. On the other hand, if you haven’t previously lived in a HOA, you may be considering living in one, as a tenant or possibly a buyer, we can help you as well.

Regardless, the CIPOA wants to develop a relationship with you, because, 60% of you will purchase your first home, within five years and, 80% those homes will be in a CID.  We help you set your sights on home ownership, in our First Time Buyer service. Even if you eventually buy a non CID home, you may come back as an investor, so stay connected.  In the mean time we help you find communities that fit your needs, follow them, and if you are ready to move (rent) or buy, you can be alerted when homes go on the market.  You can also create your own side by side comparison.

The CIPOA only uses information collected from you, internally, for member benefits only, the data is not for sale. Nor does it offer advertising. Consequently, the CIPOA must rely on subscriptions revenue from members. Visitors do not pay a membership fee, however, there is a $1 per month fee for each HOA that you follow and want access to open information and community publications.

First Time Home Buyer

The CIPOA has set up a platform for those looking forward to homeownership. This platform helps you set your goals and keeps track of your progress and encourages you to test your readiness.

As you march toward your goal, you can go through mock purchases, which allows you to choose a home currently on the market, and test whether you are currently qualified and what you need to work on.

Select HOAs from the CIPOA community profiles, regardless of location, where you can see yourself living. Set you goals high, but be prepared to purchase your first home in a community you can afford. Maybe the second or third home will be in a dream community.

When do you think you will be ready to buy?
Current Status

The CIPOA welcomes RE professionals who can deliver this expertise to our members. Consequently, we are seeking professionals who are willing to add CID classes to their continuing education plan.  In addition to past CID experience. The CIPOA professional profile and vetting is key to receiving our recommendation and exposure to our members.

Urban Sweat Equity Initiative

The CIPOA is assembling potential owner/builders for inner city projects. We group these people with others seeking home ownership
There are numerous examples of local urban renewal departments funding “Sweat Equity” inner city projects for individuals; and they not only help refurbish a neighborhood, but the experience changed their lives. When they walk through the home they built, every corner has a story. Pride in the accomplishment?, for sure, but maybe for the first time, they have equity in something. They have stepped on a path that has a lot more options. These people would do anything it takes to protect that equity.
Urbansweat is simply the common interest development version of urban renewal. The intent is to approach the project like a developer would, but instead of a developer it would be controlled by a homeowners association. The association would be run by the owners.
It starts with one person who can envision a specific inner city neighborhood, as new again. And want to be part of
