Congratulations, you just bought yourself a house (home) or so you thought. Honestly, you don’t own anything. You think your house and land are included in your purchase and it is not. Move into a neighborhood with an HOA and you will soon find out you don’t control your land. They will tell you what you can plant, not plant, what kind of driveway you can have, the color of your house, etc. And you thought you bought or owned your house, think again.
