Скачать или смотреть Deferred Maintenance in HOAs: The Hidden Financial Risk

Across the country, HOA and condo communities are facing a growing crisis: deferred maintenance, underfunded reserves, rising repair costs, and massive special assessments.

But this isn’t just about bad boards or isolated mismanagement.

It’s a structural issue — decades in the making — and many communities are now feeling the financial consequences.

In this video, Joe Braun (Founder of Solume) breaks down:

• Why aging HOA & condo buildings are hitting major system failures at the same time
• How deferred maintenance compounds into structural risk
• The true cost of special assessments (and why they feel like surprises)
• Why reserve studies are necessary — but not enough
• How information lag creates financial blind spots
• The difference between a static reserve study and dynamic financial oversight
• How boards can regain control before small issues become catastrophic problems

This conversation covers real risks facing communities today, including:

• Reserve fund underfunding
• Roof replacement planning
• Concrete & structural deterioration
• Insurance premium spikes
• Bank scrutiny & loan blacklisting
• HOA fiduciary responsibility
• Property management oversight
• Long-term financial forecasting

If you serve on an HOA board or manage a condo community, this is a practical, governance-focused discussion on how to prevent surprise special assessments and protect your community’s financial future.
