...and one of the reasons there isn't much that is "bad" is that before you make a decision you follow the champ's advice on learning about the VCDD. Many of the complaints you see here are from folks who didn't research what they were buying into and then are frustrated by "the rules."
One other suggestion I will offer is to make a list of the things you think are important in a home. For example - we wanted a private rear yard, so we found a lot with a villa wall in back. Our list had "must haves", "like to haves" and "do not wants." In the end there is always compromise, but this saves you being emotionally swayed by some wonderful feature - like a Viking range or beautiful landscaping - in a home that otherwise does not fit your criteria.
Good luck!
