When shopping for a home, it&rsquo;s not unusual to find one in a neighborhood that has a Property Owner Association or a Homeowner Association, commonly referred to as a POA or HOA. The Community Associations Institute trade association estimated that POA&rsquo;s governed 23 million American homes and 57 million residents in 2006.
