The Book
How and Why Community Associations
Invest Their Assets
One of the primary duties of a community association board is to protect,
maintain, and enhance the physical assets of the community.
Reserve Studies and Funds presents the theory behind the preparation of a reserve study, how to view the reserve study as part of the association’s overall budget, how to take advantage of the relationship between reserves, maintenance, and structural safety, the methods for developing a realistic funding plan, and a discussion of the various funding techniques. In addition, the reader will find strategies for investing the reserve funds and additional information on financial reporting and tax implications of reserves.
