In many of our managed communities, rising insurance premiums and aging infrastructure are driving HOA assessments higher each year. It&#039;s more important than ever for boards to keep assessments realistic and for reserves to be properly funded, so neighborhoods remain vibrant and financially sound.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#039;re considering a property with an HOA, make sure to ask about the monthly fees, the status of reserve funds, and how well those reserves would cover major repairs or upgrades.
