I live in Sarasota, which must be near ground zero for obnoxious HOAs Well, maybe Miami is worse, but not much. Everybody seems to want to live in such prisons. Darned if I can figure out why. It is possible, even here, to find a beautiful property, Great trees, nice neighbors, close to town and a launch ramp and no HOA. Took a while, but we managed it.
Moral: look carefully and find an agent who really understands what you want, is willing to spend the time to find it, and won't waste your time showing you houses that, to you, are junk.
And be prepared to be patient.
