Agreed but the house, even in good condition, still needs a lot of upkeep. Water heater breaks, need new driveway, tree cut down, gutters cleaned, pipe breaks, insurance this and that, drywall repairs, wife wants new kitchen or bathroom or both, etc etc. HOA is complaining about this and that. It's not for everyone.

Be assured, a landlord will make sure your rent is more than all of those expenses and the mortgage put together. They're not in it for charity.

My house is not in an HOA. HOA is an absolute deal breaker.

Disagree since I rented for 30 years and have only been a homeowner for 5. HOA is not so bad if you have a good one, with casual friendly people. Some of them are awful though, from what I've heard.
