Types of Studies
What Is a Reserve Study?
A Reserve Study is an analysis of the common area components of a property with respect to life expectancy, condition, and replacement cost. A thorough and concise report is prepared to determine the adequacy of current reserves and the contribution levels necessary to cover future expenses.
Level 1
In the Level 1 Full Reserve Study, the reserve provider creates a component inventory, a condition assessment (based upon on-site visual observations), and life and valuation estimates to determine both a fund status and a funding plan.
Level 2
In the Level 2 Update, With-Site-Visit/On-Site Review, the reserve provider utilizes and validates the existing component inventory, provides a condition assessment (based on on-site visual observations), and life and valuation estimates to determine both a fund status and a funding plan.
Level 3
In the Level 3 Update, No-Site-Visit/Off Site Review, the reserve provider conducts life and valuation estimates to determine a fund status and a funding plan.
