COA vs Standard HOA

A standard HOA fee of $225/mo that doesn’t cover the roof must be compared honestly. At $15K–$25K per roof replacement every 20–25 years, the amortized cost is $50–$100/mo. Add exterior painting every 7–10 years (~$5K–$10K, $42–$83/mo). The “cheap” HOA is actually $317–$408/mo in total cost — comparable to BLR’s COA.
