"Are there any neighborhoods/HOAs that do NOT allow homes to be used as rental properties? What is the best source to get this information?"

This is the follow-up question many buyers really mean: they want fewer rentals overall, not just fewer weekend rentals. A fair expert answer is that “no rentals allowed” is not common everywhere, and rules vary a lot by HOA. The best source is the HOA’s official governing documents and any published rules or amendments for that specific community. 
Kristy Cook can help buyers avoid guesswork by requesting HOA documents early and flagging key sections that matter most, like lease minimums, owner-occupancy requirements, and whether there is a cap on rental units.
Actionable tip: Do not rely on hearsay. Ask for the HOA’s written lease restrictions and confirm whether the rule is actively enforced.
