55+ Community Rules: The 11 Things They Don't Tell You Until After You Sign

🏡 FREE 30-Minute 55+ Community Reality Check

"The 11 Things They Don't Tell You Until After You Sign"

The sales presentation was beautiful. The model home was perfect. The amenities looked amazing.

But did they mention that your grandkids can only visit 30 days a year? Or that you can't paint your shutters without approval? Or that reselling means finding a buyer who's 55+?

Probably not.

55+ communities can be WONDERFUL—but only if you know what you're getting into.

This Wednesday, we're pulling back the curtain.

📅 WHEN: Wednesday, January 28, 2026 — 7:00 PM ET

⏱️ DURATION: 30 minutes + optional Q&A

💻 WHERE: Live on Zoom (link sent after registration)

THE 11 THINGS THEY DON'T TELL YOU:

1️⃣ Guest Age Restrictions: Your grandkids can only visit for X days per year (varies by community)

2️⃣ Occupancy Rules: Both owners must be 55+, or one 55+ and one 40+ (depends on community)

3️⃣ Rental Restrictions: Many don't allow rentals, or limit rental periods

4️⃣ Exterior Modifications: You can't change paint colors, landscaping, or add structures without approval

5️⃣ Parking Rules: No RVs, boats, or work vehicles in driveways (sometimes not even in guest lots)

6️⃣ Pet Restrictions: Size limits, breed restrictions, number limits

7️⃣ Special Assessments: When the clubhouse roof needs replacing, everyone pays

8️⃣ Resale Limitations: Your buyer pool is limited to 55+ buyers only

9️⃣ HOA Drama: Yes, it exists. And yes, it matters.

🔟 Mandatory Meetings/Committees: Some communities require participation

1️⃣1️⃣ The Fine Print: What happens if you need long-term care, or your spouse is under 55

WHO THIS IS FOR:

→ Anyone considering a 55+ community

→ Homeowners who want the truth, not the sales pitch

→ People comparing 55+ vs. traditional single-family homes

→ Anyone who wants to make an informed decision

WHAT THIS IS NOT:

❌ A negative attack on 55+ communities (they're great for many people!)

❌ Legal advice (always read your HOA docs with a lawyer)

❌ A sales pitch for single-family homes

This is an honest, balanced look at what you're actually signing up for—so you can decide if it's right for YOU.
