Purpose
The purpose of the Reserve Study is to give those overseeing the maintenance of the property a better idea of what major expenses to expect and an educated estimate of when these expenses will occur. With this knowledge, the Homeowner's Association Board or manager can create a budget so association members will make their fair share of Reserve contributions, designed to offset the slow but steady ongoing Reserve Component deterioration at the association. In addition, the Reserve Study provides important annual disclosures to association members (and prospective buyers) about the condition of common area components, and the level of preparedness (strength) of the Reserve Fund (typically measured in terms of Percent Funded). A Reserve Study is a roadmap that allows decisions to be made which will be efficient and effective for the long term.

“In considering the policy to be adopted for suppressing the insurrection, I have been anxious and careful that the inevitable conflict for this purpose shall not degenerate into a violent and remorseless revolutionary struggle.”

“Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)
