Reserve Study - Purpose

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.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    We need not only a purpose in life to give meaning to our existence but also something to give meaning to our suffering. We need as much something to suffer for as something to live for.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
    A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. III, 1–2)

    Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
