HOA Reserves and Other Funding Options: Tips to Be a Smart HOA Money Manager Thursday, September 27, 2018
2-3 p.m. Eastern
An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar
With Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards
|
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
the inevitable rainy day that so few owners want to fully fund, your actions will be put under a microscope.
Have no fear! The more you know about how to fund (or not) your association's reserves, the more confident you'll feel responding to owners who question your financial wisdom. Build that knowledge by joining a one-hour webinar on September 27 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. 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.
You'll learn:
- The role of reserves at an HOA, including what you can and should use them to 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 associations to maintain 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
- When and how to conduct a reserve study
- The pros and cons of underfunding reserves
- Alternatives to using reserves to funding and component replacement, including increased assessments, one-time special assessments, and
loans
- The most common mistakes boards make when funding HOA 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. |
