Due to the arrival of our founder's firstborn (it's a girl!) in early October, no communication will be available for the first half of that month as David prioritizes family. Subsequently, all inspection work will be scheduled in November as soon as possible. We understand if that takes us out of the running in the immediate future. However, if you're still interested in our services, feel free to submit a contact or proposal request. We'd be more than happy to get back to you as soon as we can!
Florida Reserve Studies and SIRS
Reserve Studies, Made Clear!
Reserve budgeting ultimately revolves around two questions:
What major repair and replacement projects are going to occur?
How much do you need to collect to pay for those projects?
The goal at Homeowner Insights, LLC is to answer both accurately in plain English so that all community associations, commercial properties, and worship facilities throughout Florida have confidence in their reserve planning decisions!
Florida is Our Only Focus!Homeowner Insights, LLC is dedicated to providing Reserve Studies, Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS), and reserve consulting for Florida communities only, led by a credentialed Reserve Specialist who cares about providing you with the best value possible!

Services
Three Ways We Help Florida Boards, Managers, and Owners
01
Reserve Studies
A report providing a clear picture of what your community is responsible for, what condition those components are in, what repairs and replacements are anticipated to occur, a 30-year financial projection, and reserve funding recommendations!
A second opinion on an existing Reserve Study, educational presentations, peer review for Reserve Professionals, or a customized solution for your property's needs!
A firm that treats Florida as one region will often miss the nuanced needs of clients throughout the state. Reserve planning in Florida requires a significant understanding of the state's legislative requirements, insurance implications for specific components, each property's local environment, and the nuances for every single component on a property. Our findings are based on extensive experience and consideration of all of the above.
Secondly, all Reserve Studies should follow the Community Associations Institute's Reserve Study Standards framework. However, many are written in a way that the information isn't easily understandable by its intended readers (Boards, Managers, Unit Owners). Our goal is to provide all information in as straightforward a manner as possible using plain English, yet without sacrificing an inch of critical details you should be aware of.
Homeowner Insights, LLC is committed to creating a clear and informative report that represents your specific property's needs, providing you with accurate information to base your reserve budget decisions on!

A financial report that guides budgeting for major repairs and replacements of the items your community is responsible for. This can include paving, painting, roofing, elevators, pools, sport courts, and so much more. In short, it answers what projects are coming and how much you should collect to pay for them!
Does our association need a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)?
If you live in a condominium or cooperative building three habitable stories or taller, the answer is likely yes. Otherwise, the likely answer is no. We recommend confirming such requirements with your association's attorney to be sure.
What does a Reserve Study cost?
This entirely depends on the size and complexity of your property, as well as the scope needed (i.e. Reserve Study vs. Structural Integrity Reserve Study). Although not a set range, most traditional "Full" (or from scratch) Reserve Studies range between $2,000 and $6,000 based on those variables. Structural Integrity Reserve Studies typically range from $4,000 to $10,000+. If you'd like a specific proposal for your property, feel free to request a proposal below.
