What is a Full Reserve Study?
A Full Reserve Study, also known as a Level I Reserve Study, is a detailed and comprehensive assessment of an association’s reserve funds. It identifies the current status of the reserve fund and provides a stable and equitable funding plan to offset ongoing deterioration and cover future repair and replacement expenses.
What is the purpose of a reserve fund study?
The purpose of a reserve fund study is to assess the adequacy of the reserve fund to cover future repair and replacement expenses for common elements and assets of the property. It helps ensure that sufficient funds are available when major expenditures occur.
Who completes a reserve study?
While the Davis-Stirling Act does not specify who should perform reserve studies, it is best to have an independent, credentialed reserve analyst, such as a licensed engineer, complete the study. This ensures expertise and accuracy in the assessment and recommendations.
How often should a reserve study be updated?
It is recommended to update your reserve study annually to ensure the financial projections remain accurate and account for any changes in the property or economic conditions. This helps maintain a reliable reserve funding plan.
