It is a must for everyone involved with management and administration of community associations...from engaged owners through the top tiers of professionals. ‐ Community Association Attorney.

| condo reserve study florida: The Condominium Concept Peter M Dunbar, 2024-06-03 The purpose of The Condominium Concept is to provide a practical guide for officers and board members of residential condominiums. It is not designed as a legal treatise for lawyers. The manual will, however, refer frequently to provisions of the law helping its user understand the requirements that the law imposes on the operation of condominiums in Florida. Those familiar with prior editions of The Condominium Concept will find new references to the law presented in the footnotes of this edition, and the references include key decisions from Florida courts. Condominiums are “creatures of statute.” The Florida Condominium Act governs their creation and their ongoing activities. The Act also addresses the rights of unit owners and the responsibilities of those who govern the condominium on their behalf. This edition of the Concept includes the changes to the Florida Statutes through the 2023 legislative session. There are forms and sample documents to help association officials comply with the procedural requirements regulating their duties. There is a shorthand guide to the rules of parliamentary procedure and forms to assist in conducting association meetings. Finally, there are frequent references to sections and paragraphs of the Florida Statutes (F.S.) and the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) to give foundation to the commentary and to direct the reader to other source material if there is need for more information |

| condo reserve study florida: Condo Conquest Randy K. Lippert, 2019-01-15 When condominiums first emerged in North American cities in the 1960s, they were a new kind of housing governed by boards of resident owners volunteering in a community. Condo Conquest shows how the condo and its inner governance have since become something else entirely, taken over – or conquered – by an assemblage of firms specializing in condo law, real estate, security, and property management, as well as growing numbers of non-resident investors who purchase condo units as commodities. Drawing on the accounts of residents and board directors in Toronto and New York and myriad other sources, Randy Lippert takes a close look at the inner workings of condoization. He shows how condo governance increasingly involves a complex set of legal, social, and spatial relationships among various elements assembled together, including commercial agents, forms of knowledge, and technologies. The first major study of condominium governance in North America, Condo Conquest questions assumptions about the condo and its governance. By illuminating the complex set of agents, processes, and forms of knowledge that have taken over the condo world, Lippert discerns a number of troubling trends that imperil the condo’s future and undermine the integrity of urban communities. |

| condo reserve study florida: High Life Matthew Lasner, 2023-04-04 The first comprehensive architectural and cultural history of condominium and cooperative housing in twentieth-century America. Today, one in five homeowners in American cities and suburbs lives in a multifamily home rather than a single-family house. As the American dream evolves, precipitated by rising real estate prices and a renewed interest in urban living, many predict that condos will become the predominant form of housing in the twenty-first century. In this unprecedented study, Matthew Gordon Lasner explores the history of co-owned multifamily housing in the United States, from New York City’s first co-op, in 1881, to contemporary condominium and townhouse complexes coast to coast. Lasner explains the complicated social, economic, and political factors that have increased demand for this way of living, situating the trend within the larger housing market and broad shifts in residential architecture and family life. He contrasts the prevalence and popularity of condos, townhouses, and other privately governed communities with their ambiguous economic, legal, and social standing, as well as their striking absence from urban and architectural history. |

| condo reserve study florida: Leading Your HOA Tom Maletic, 2016-03-17 I wrote this book to serve as a primer on the basics of what you can do to: - Make your personal time on the board more satisfying - Produce value for the homeowners in your HOA - Encourage other homeowners to volunteer to make their HOA a better place to live. This is a foundation book. I want you, as a volunteer board member, to have a foundation of knowledge in what a homeowners association is and how it should work. I have seen too many homeowners associations in which new board members have no basic knowledge in association best practices and they get caught up in the emotions of making decisions for their neighbors. Their volunteer time turns in to a frustrating experience and the existing problems persist with the association. With a good foundation, I believe you will be able to learn more about community associations and the common issues that confront them. With this book, you will have an outline that will help you organize your thoughts, build on a solid framework and make your volunteer time valuable to you and to your neighbors. |

As such, the course carefully complies with FREC requirements and specification for content coverage, organization length, format, and final examinations. The thrust of the course’s content is to - provide a comprehensive yet terse review of key concepts and principles undergirding Florida brokerage and management practices - emphasize how to develop and maintain practical yet widely-accepted standards of professional real estate practice as codified by the Realtors Code of Ethics and FREC-promulgated regulations - highlight the more action-oriented aspects of brokerage practice as opposed to legal concepts, including risk mitigation, the basics of managing transactions, pricing property, completing contracts, financial analysis, closing, and, throughout, making conscientious and transparent disclosures. In fulfilling these course content benchmarks, we have tried to keep the topic summaries clear, simple and relevant. Ultimately, we hope they will serve the ongoing purpose of keeping you abreast of the industry’s newest trends, developments, and new evolutions. Important note: The FLA.CE Program needs to be purchased through an approved Florida real estate school to receive credit. Buying and completing the FLA.CE book purchased here on Amazon will NOT earn you credit. Our FLA.CE text resource is to be in used in conjunction with a school's FLA.CE course. |

| condo reserve study florida: Celebration, U.S.A. Douglas Frantz, Catherine Collins, 2000-09-01 A prize-winning reporter, his wife, and their two kids describe life in Disney's vision of the future. In 1997, six months after the first residents had moved into Celebration, Florida-Disney's town of the future with its distinctly retro link to a longed-for past-Doug and Cathy and their two kids closed on their new home and settled down to participate in (and observe) this new venture. Their report from the trenches will surprise both Disney haters and Disney fans. What is it like to start a new community-not a suburb or subdivision, but a town, inted to be a self-supporting community with the best of the new technologies (including the very latest in teaching techniques) and the most cherished elements in American towns that existed before the automobile turned everything into a mall? For almost two years the family lived this experiment firsthand. Their report is vivid, funny, and painful-and it tells us as much about ourselves and our hopes and dreams as it does about the daily reality of building a community from the ground up. |
