Whats with all these communities that all of a sudden in addition to an HOA fee are charging a "buy in" of 50-70k in addition to the price of the home?

Is this new? never saw this before when I was checking out listings 10 years ago..


WTF?


Did all the NY'ers bring their "co-op" fee with them but renamed it?

Not sure what you mean by all of a sudden. Are there communities that did not used to charge a "buy-in" fee and now do or is it that you did not know that there were communities that did this? It is not that uncommon for certain HOA communities to have a "buy-in" fee as you called it.

And usually the communities that have mandatory membership fees have the less expensive homes as they just don't appreciate due to the requirement. The sellers have to offer a deep discount of their homes just to offset the mandatory fee.

It's been around a long time.
You probably just didn't notice it.

Most of the transplants from NY have never had a coop fee or even know what it is!
