HOA Reserve Audit & Funding Gap Insurance

A specialized audit service that conducts deep-dive reserve studies for aging condos (15+ years old), identifies underfunding gaps with 85%+ accuracy using structural engineering data and comparable building repair costs, then brokers a novel insurance product that covers 50-80% of surprise assessments above a deductible. The insurer pools risk across multiple buildings and uses the audit data to price accurately.

Original Problem

Condo owners face unexpected six-figure HOA assessment bills for major building repairs

Aging condominium owners are blindsided by massive special assessments when building repairs balloon into millions of dollars, forcing them to pay tens of thousands in additional HOA fees they cannot afford or avoid. Current reserve funding models and disclosure practices fail to adequately warn owners of impending capital needs, leaving them trapped between selling at a loss or paying catastrophic bills.
