Three Purposes of the Reserve Study:
1. Display the Component List – the list of projects Reserves are being collected to perform. Note: the Component List is commonly referred to as the “foundation” of every Reserve Study, because the Financial Analysis is based on this list of expenses
2. Evaluation of Reserve Fund Strength (current cash on hand compared to the current $ of common area deterioration at the association)
3. Recommended multi-year Funding Plan to provide sufficient cash so Reserve Projects can be accomplished in a timely manner without reliance on supplemental loans or special assessments.
“Adequate Reserves” definition: A replacement reserve fund and stable and equitable multiyear funding plan that together provide for the reliable and timely execution of the association’s major repair and replacement projects without reliance on additional supplemental funding.
