I love this site and visit it often. I'm new to my position as Director and so have contributed little but learned much from the more seasoned members here who so generously share their knowledge and experience. Thank you! So many of our issues are universal even though our approach to solving them may differ depending on our own state's laws. Sometimes it's comforting just to know that our board is not alone in some of the problems we encounter (misery loves company?). It's been very helpful knowing how others have approached similar problems.
I know we're all HOAs and have many common issues but I feel that a lot of the problems encountered by condo HOAs are different or are more complex (or am I only seeing it from my point of view?). For instance, we all share common problems such as apathy among owners and late payment of dues but it seems to me that condo boards must be much more involved in day to day operations. Sorry if I sound like PPP (poor, pitiful Pearl). It's like we're the same animal but a different breed ... some breeds are more easily cared for then others.
I feel it would be helpful if we each identified ourselves in our posts as to the type of community we are involved in - condo, single family, townhouse or some combination.
I am condo, 150 oceanfront units with a few year-round resident owners and a few long-term renters. The remainder are 2nd homes with week-end and holiday use and MANY short-term vacation rentals. We use a management company for financials and for general oversight.
Any thoughts?
