Not even the storms and power outages across Louisville could dampen the excitement at yesterday’s June luncheon, "Finances, Reserves & Taxes... Oh My!"

We explored several important topics impacting community associations, including:
• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac updates
• Loans vs. special assessments
• Reserve studies
• Taxes
• Financial planning for deferred maintenance

A special thank you to our outstanding panel of experts:
Andrew Hart, Owner, Hart Property Advisors, Inc
Brent Eckhart, Managing Partner, Reserve Design Advantage
Katie Wells, Property Manager, Sentry Management, Inc.

We also appreciate Julie Jaram, Partner at & Associates, LLC, for stepping in to address tax-related questions and share her expertise.

At CAI-KY, we believe better communities start with education, and this discussion on financial planning was especially timely as associations begin budgeting for the coming year. Today’s HOA financial challenges require thoughtful, strategic planning, and we are committed to providing the resources and knowledge our members need to succeed.

Thank you to everyone who joined us despite the weather—we look forward to seeing you at our next event!
