Projects Done:
1. Started with a self-management system which has advantages like:

prompt services to the HOA residents, 3rd parties and vendors).

Property Manager is here every day answering phone calls, responding
emails, receiving residents to hear their concerns, receive payments,
send violations every week, activate transponders and make sure
every resident has one, process faster purchase and lease applications
(one week).
c) Office at the community (increased and improved supervision by the
BOD over the management of the community), check very close any
contractor that is working at the property and check the status of the
projects.

branch close by.
The owners that live here can pay direct at the office, go to the bank
