I did a community audit for an HOA. It involved me literally counting every house in the community (in person) and cross referencing it to our master list to make sure we had registrations on all the homes.

For the in person counting they bought me a bike and I was tasked with riding around my community for 3 months during the summer counting houses. About 6,000 IIRC.


Not only was it fun, I got to listen to podcasts all day while riding around getting sun, but it paid very well for a summer job. Even better is that it was only about 6 weeks worth of work. Let’s just say I made many frequent pit stops around the parks to chill, smoke weed and read a book or ten.

Bonus that the World Cup was on (South Africa?) so I could stop by my house anytime I wanted to watch games.

I was only required at the office at 9am to grab my bike and 5pm to drop it off. And then a couple weeks at the end to compile the results. I think we found like 3 houses that weren’t in our database. I also got to deliver letters for people who were delinquent on their HOA fees. That was fun.

Far and away my best job ever, not accounting for pay or the fact the HOA was crooked.
