One of the primary duties of an association is maintaining and preserving property values of residential units and common property. To do this properly, associations must develop funding plans for future repair or replacement of major common area components, such as roofs, elevators, swimming pool components, asphalt surfaces, and more. An association has several funding options, including periodic assessments over the life of assets, special assessments at the time of replacement, borrowing funds when needed, a combination of the above, or the most common method is the setting aside funds in a special category commonly called reserve funds, replacement reserves, replacement funds, or simply reserves. This folder contains the Reserve Study for the Association and outlines reserve analyst recommendations for appropriate funding.
