Watch Your Reserve Study Come Alive
Our Reserve Study Assistant turns a static PDF into an interactive model, so your board can compare funding strategies and understand the real cost of every path before deciding anything.
Five funding paths, one honest comparison. Current trajectory, cash-flow ramp, immediate full funding, special assessments, and a bank loan, side by side with the true owner cost of each.
Model every scenario. Reserve fund balance, percent fully funded, and contributions vs. expenditures, charted across BASE, ALT1, and ALT2 assumptions.
A board-ready executive summary. The 30- vs 40-year outlook, funding deltas, and flagged special-assessment risk, in plain numbers your homeowners can follow.
- Compare current and alternative funding scenarios side by side.
- See the true owner cost of every funding path, not just a "percent funded" number.
- Automatically flag missing costs, useful-life gaps, and special-assessment risk.
- Hand your board a clear executive summary they can actually act on.
