The Internet is full of information for homeowners—if you can find what you’re looking for. Google searches can pull up thousands of sites, most of them irrelevant, and it’s your task to weed through them. Now there’s a way around information overload. Community Associations Institute (CAI), a national membership group that works on behalf of communities like ours, has created a site specifically for homeowners and potential homebuyers.
The site includes links to several free CAI documents, including An Introduction to Community Association Living and Community Matters—What You Should Know Before You Buy. It also features links to a number of government and nonprofit websites on topics such as:
- Buying and selling a home
- Making home affordable
- Home foreclosure resources
- Talk to a housing counselor
- Disaster information
- Emergency preparedness for families
- Fair housing laws
- Fair lending practices
- Tax information for homeowners
- Home Safety Council
- Home improvements
- Home repair and remodeling
