    HOA Bankruptcy Explained: Can a Condo Association Really Go Broke?

    When an HOA or condominium association files bankruptcy, what actually happens? Can the board just declare bankruptcy? Do owners become personally responsible? Can a creditor force an HOA into bankruptcy? And can a bankruptcy judge really wipe out amenities—or even force massive special assessments? YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/q8w39unoeqI CEU Version: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8461299881746255964 In this special AssociationHelpNow® session, Ray Dickey sits down with Florida attorney Cory Kravit and tri-state attorney Dave Byrne to break down a real Florida case involving a recreational condominium that filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This video covers: ✔ Why an association would file Chapter 11 ✔ What happens when sub-associations stop paying ✔ How bankruptcy affects owners, assessments & foreclosures ✔ Whether amenities or common property can be sold ✔ Why older buildings and deferred maintenance matter ✔ How terminations vs. bankruptcy differ ✔ The role of board fiduciary duty during financial crises ✔ Whether a bankruptcy court can override governing documents ✔ What creditors can and cannot do ✔ The “toll booth” hypothetical that had everyone laughing This is one of the most detailed, real-world bankruptcy discussions ever streamed for HOAs and condos. If you are a manager, board member, homeowner, or attorney, this deep dive will dramatically improve your understanding of how bankruptcy truly works in community associations.

    Protecting Managers & Boards from Abusive Residents

    Have you ever had an owner say something like, “Send me another violation and you’ll regret it. I’ll come down there and deal with you myself”… and you’re left wondering: Is that just rude—or is it a threat? YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/qpV8O5807do In this conversation, I sit down with community association attorneys, an insurance professional, an engineer, and an on-site manager of a 1,100+ home community to tackle one uncomfortable question: where is the line between angry, abusive, and legally actionable? We talk about: Real-world examples Whether police, HR, and legal counsel can actually help How boards can truly have their manager’s back Codes of conduct, behavior policies, fines, and enforcement limits De-escalation phrases and tactics managers actually rely on If you’re tired of boards and managers being “punched bags” for bad behavior—but you also don’t want to silence legitimate complaints—this video will give you language, perspective, and options you can use in your community.

    Maintenance Mysteries - The Hidden Failures That Blow HOA Budgets

    Why do some building failures look simple… until you open a wall and find ten new problems? In this livestream, I sit down with an industry leader who specializes in the toughest maintenance and construction diagnostics facing HOAs today — from mysterious deck failures and chronic mold issues to roof leaks, flashing mistakes, siding cracks, skylight problems, paint delamination, incompatible coatings, gutter undersizing, and full-replacement decisions that catch boards off guard. We’ll break down the real causes behind the failures that cost communities the most — and the questions managers and boards should ask before approving work. If you’ve ever wondered why bids can vary by 40%, why leaks return after repairs, or why moisture keeps finding its way in, this session is your chance to get clear answers.

    Hazard Zones - Retaining Walls as a Reserve Problem

    Retaining walls rarely get attention until the ground shifts—literally. This session breaks down why these structures are among the most overlooked high-risk components in community associations and how hidden drainage issues, soil movement, and aging construction quietly set the stage for major failures. YouTube: https://youtu.be/gucX_IWBz6s We’ll cover what managers and boards must document, how to spot early warning signs, and why retaining walls are a financial hazard zone when reserves underestimate real replacement costs. Most importantly, we’ll look at the safety side—because these aren’t just dollars and line items. A wall failure can injure someone. Knowing what to look for, and acting early, can prevent the kind of event every board hopes never happens.
