HOA Know-It-Alls – The Easy Psychology of How to Handle Them (CEU)

Every community has one—the resident who misapplies statutes, challenges professionals after reading a single article, or dominates meetings to show what they know. In this livestream, we examine the psychology behind HOA “know-it-alls,” including the Dunning-Kruger effect, status signaling, anxiety about property values and rules, identity protection, and the influence of retired professionals in association debates.

Using AI in HOAs (CEU)

Artificial Intelligence is already inside community associations.

Managers are using it to draft emails.
Boards are asking it to interpret bylaws.
Vendors are embedding it into software platforms.

Special Assessments

Special assessments are one of the most difficult issues HOA and condo boards ever have to face. In this practical livestream recording, our panel discusses how boards and managers can communicate a special assessment without creating panic, how to avoid the procedural mistakes that often lead to disputes or litigation, and when borrowing may be a better option than requiring owners to pay a large amount all at once. The conversation covers owner communication, governing document requirements, voting and notice issues, collections, insurance concerns, reserve shortfalls, lender considerations, and the political realities that come with major repair decisions.

HOA Collections Explained

Collecting assessments is not optional for HOA and condo boards. It is a fiduciary duty.

In this practical livestream recording, our panel breaks down how community association collections really work, including liens, foreclosure timelines, notice requirements, bankruptcy complications, payment plans, late fees, money judgments, suspension of privileges, and why written collection policies matter. The discussion also covers what boards can and cannot do when owners claim hardship, whether compassion can affect enforcement, how different states handle collection timelines, and why delaying action can damage association cash flow and increase legal exposure.
