Anyone have a way to do this, specifically in southern California?

Any website or otherwise?

What do you need it for? A BPO, a listing... a contract?

What I usually do is just do a search for the subdivision HOA and city on google. Some HOAs have everything online. That's how I start looking anyways. Sometimes successful sometimes not.

I just need it for a BPO

Do any title companies have that available on their sites? Where I am a couple of them have it available on their sites. I have an account and log in and have access to the info. May be worth a look at one of the title companies in your area.

Are there any other listings in the neighborhood with agents that may be willing to get you that info? Open houses? Agents that are residents?.....just some suggestions

what title company do you use?

Mine doesn't have that info available online.

Just FYI...I have a bpo due sunday that I forgot to grab the info for ahead of time. My worst case scenario, is I just drive back over there. I'm just kinda tired of hunting around for the info constantly, and want to lock down a solid way.

Sometimes I'm googling, sometimes I call title, sometimes I'm emailing and calling agents....blah blah

If this is for a bpo mill, I never search that info. I put unknown if I dont know it. If Im getting the listing then I get the info from title. It takes them about one minute to access it.

what title company?

In Texas, that info is on our seller disclosures. If I'm lucky, I'll search and find one filled out. Otherwise, I'll do a quick search of the internet to see if the HOA is online.

I do not waste a lot of time on this. If all else fails, I'll take a consensus of the MLS data sheets and choose the HOA fee that seems to be the most accurate and then I'll put a disclaimer in my report that this is an estimate of the annual fee due, taken from information available in the MLS.

When I do find information that I know to be 100% accurate, I write it down. That way I have it for future record.

In my area this info is available on the county website. I just look under the County Recorder. Check the website for whichever branch of the county government records deeds, mortgages, etc.
