FORECLOSURE FACE-OFF Industry Leaders “Weigh-In” on Which Foreclosure Process Tops the Other.

August 20, 2014    Steven J. Tinnelly, Esq. of Tinnelly Law Group, PC    Education

Assessment collection is one of the more confusing aspects of an association’s operations, especially when trying to understand whether your association should use non-judicial or judicial foreclosure in its assessment collection efforts.  Assessment collection firms provide a wealth of information and articles highlighting the advantages of their preferred foreclosure process compared to the disadvantages of the other.  However, it is rare that an association manager or board will have access to unbiased information discussing some of the primary advantages and disadvantages associated with each process and how they may be impacted by certain economic factors.

Typically, the most significant assets and related expenses of an association are those identified within a Reserve Study. To be an effective document for planning, communication and disclosure, it is essential that the data within the Reserve Study be both accurate and current.

Fire Damage Legal Liability

June 25, 2014    Jon Crain   

Another often misunderstood coverage that is built into liability policies is "Fire Damage Legal Liability" usually offered with limits of $50,000, $100,000 or $300,000.

This coverage is mostly irrelevant to a condominium or a single family home tract but since we have received a lot of questions about this coverage throughout the years we wanted to address it.

June 10, 2014    Erin Kelly, Pacific Utility Audit, Inc.    Homeowner Tips

Each summer, as temperatures increase and air-conditioning is turned on, the average residential electric bill increases accordingly. There are ways to offset those increased electric bills!

15 Revealing Signs You Genuinely Love What You do

May 20, 2014    Jeff Haden @Jeff_Haden   

Margo and Sandy read this article and were excited because they scored in the 13-15 range. They wanted to share this article which first appeared in Inc. magazine. Here' s a portion of it.

Passion and purpose--in short, doing what you love--can be difficult to find. Some people search forever. Some gain remarkable skills and talents only to think, I'm great at this. So why don't I feel successful? Others, even after building successful businesses, suddenly think, Hold on. This is just not me.

Though we would all like to be happier at work, at times it's easy to miss the work-we-love forest for the irritation trees. So I asked Dharmesh Shah, co-founder of HubSpot (No, 666 on the Inc. 5000 in 2013) and a guy who has spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about doing what he loves and creating a company his employees love, how he knows he loves his work.
