Can a homeowner/board member loan money to his HOA? If so, must he charge the HOA interest? If so, is there a number for that interest?

Must he charge interest? No.

The interest rate is the decision of the one loaning the money and the borrower accepting the rate..

I thought you had to charge interest or it was treated as giving the interest as a gift for the IRS.

Interest is so low right now that it's not really going to exceed any IRS threashold.

Yes. But the HOA would be foolish to take a loan or do business with anyone who is not in that business of doing that. A bank is also regulated by the government. An regular guy lending money is not.
