Kuester Management Group Shares Insights on HOA Reserve Funding Goals
Rezul News/10675439
Kuester Management Group reflects on the importance of a well-funded reserve and how the association can enhance savings.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- There are a lot of expenses that come with running an HOA. Day-to-day expenses and basic maintenance costs are drawn from the association's operating fund. There is also a reserve fund that should be maintained to cover more expensive repairs, replacements, and projects. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding considerations when it comes to how much money should be allocated to the reserve fund.
"Ideally, the HOA's reserve account should be 100 percent funded to ensure that it can cover anticipated costs," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "However, that is not always possible, so a reasonable goal should be to maintain at least 70 percent funded. This can minimize the amount of additional funds needed to pay for repairs or replacements."

The board should conduct a reserve study every three to five years to anticipate expenses and adjust savings as necessary, says Kuester. It is a good idea to hire a professional company to do this study, as they will conduct a detailed evaluation of the HOA's physical assets and financial health. This allows the board to have a better idea of upcoming projects, how much they will cost, and how much the association should be saving.
If the reserve fund falls below its target, it may not be able to fully cover the cost of repairs or replacements or may have to put off certain projects. The board may end up administering a special assessment where each homeowner must pay a certain amount to make up for shortfalls in the reserve fund. Or the association may have to take out a loan or seek other financial assistance.
"A comprehensive reserve study allows the board to see what major repairs or replacements are coming up and adjust the budget accordingly," says Kuester. "They may decide to increase annual dues or reallocate certain funds to put more money into the reserve account. Staying on top of preventive maintenance can also help prolong the life of community assets and minimize more costly repairs."
