Condos and HOAs are working hard to stay financially secure in the face what was a peak of tens of millions of Americans hit by pandemic furloughs and layoffs.
That's on top of the fact that money is one of the most contentious issues you'll manage at your HOA. There's always an owner—or many—who'll challenge your financial decisions. Whether it's how much money to collect from owners in assessments, how much money to spend on maintenance and repairs, or how much money to set aside in your reserves for those inevitable projects, your actions will
be put under a microscope.
Keep calm and join our webinar for vital information on how you can continue to fund (or not) your association's reserves in one-hour webinar on September 17 led by three community association experts—one a manager, one a lawyer, and one a reserves analyst.
They'll explain what you need to know about HOA reserves and other funding mechanisms particularly during a pandemic when condos and HOAs are facing increasing delinquencies. They'll also reveal the smartest moves you can make to ensure your HOA can pay for needed maintenance and repair projects, and even community upgrades despite the financial challenges of not only COVID-19 but everyday
HOA operations.
You'll learn:
- The role of reserves at an HOA, including what you can and should fund and what would be inappropriate to fund through reserves
- How state laws differ in requirements for reserves, ranging from states that don't have any laws specifically governing HOA reserves to those that require reserve studies or certain reserve levels—and states in between that
permit HOAs to not fund reserves if owners approve such a move
- What you should know about reserve and money management to ensure you meet your fiduciary duties and responsibilities and whether your duties have shifted as a result of the pandemic
- When and how to conduct a reserve study
- The pros and cons of underfunding reserves
- Alternatives to using reserves to fund component replacement, including increased assessments, one-time special assessments, and loans
- The most common mistakes boards make when funding HOA repair projects, whether through reserves or another funding method
- And much more!
After just one hour, you'll know the HOA industry's best practices when it comes to money matters at your HOA. Register now for this informative event for community association board members.
