The HOA Investor Invasion The “HOA Investor Invasion highlights the challenge boards face as investors purchase properties. They often prioritize rental income and property appreciation over community well-being, leading to potential declines in property upkeep, and participation in HOA matters. Renters typically have less incentive to participate in the community, while investors may push for minimal HOA dues and less restrictive regulations to maximize profits. Our panel, including Lisa Magill, Esq. BCS from Kaye Bender Rembaum, will discuss solutions. Enroll Here.

New Owner Best Practices are essential for associations to foster a smooth transition, promote positive engagement and ensure new residents understand the community’s values, rules and resources.
