Self management can be a costly mistake for homeowner Associations. Volunteers often lack the experience to effectively take on the duties of Association management; collecting dues, paying bills, handling maintenance, record keeping, and rules enforcement. 

A much more beneficial and sustainable situation is one in which service to the community does not diminish the volunteer's ability to enjoy living in their community.  The best way to take pressure off your volunteer Board is to hire a professional to manage the day-to-day affairs of the association.  Start by considering the four reasons why you might want to hire a manager:

• Time

• Knowledge

• Continuity

• Convenience
