  • The HOA Lending Market in 2026: A Mid-Year View

    A mid-year read on the HOA lending market 2026 from someone who has been in the room for three decades. Regional bank consolidation is thinning the direct-lender bench. AI-driven origination is changing how files move. Reserve study scrutiny has not eased since Surfside. Owner delinquency has finally normalized. This post covers what shifted in the first half of 2026, what those shifts mean for boards planning capital projects, and three specific predictions for the back half of the year with the triggers worth watching.

  • How Reserve Studies Affect Your HOA Loan Approval Odds

    The reserve study is the document that most often decides HOA reserve study loan approval, frequently before an underwriter opens the financial statements. This post walks through what underwriters read first, the percent-funded thresholds that matter, how component condition gets weighted against funding, and the practical steps a board should take a full year before applying. It closes with where HOA Loan Services helps boards line up the study with the application, plus the four questions underwriters ask most often about reserve studies during file review.

  • Loans vs assessments

    Why HOA Boards Should Stop Saying 'We'll Just Do a Special Assessment'

    A provocative shareable take on the HOA special assessment vs loan decision. The phrase 'we'll just do a special assessment' is usually a tell that the board has not run the math, has not surveyed owners, and has not modeled the long-term consequence. This post walks through what the phrase actually means in practice, the math nobody ran on a typical $1.5M building envelope project, and the equity question current owners owe future ones. Ends with the exact line every board should put in their minutes.
