  • Who runs the North Creek HOA?

    The Texas Real Estate Commission's HOA registry lists Melissa North Creek Homeowners Association, Inc. When you buy, the HOA's resale certificate shows the current dues, any transfer fee and anything owed on the home, and Texas caps its fee at $375. I confirm which association covers an address early in the deal.

  • Can I lease out my North Creek home?

    It depends on the HOA's recorded rules, which can limit leasing, so read them first. Texas law doesn't let an HOA require its approval of your tenant or demand the tenant's credit report or application. I lease out a home in Melissa myself and help owners price, market and lease theirs. I find tenants; I don't manage property.
