Assisting Developers of Single-Family Built to Rent (BTR) Neighborhoods
An area of exploding growth within the housing industry is the Single-Family Built to Rent community. Some consumers prefer the idea of leasing over home ownership. The increased demand for leasing homes in established subdivisions has become a problem, since most covenants contain rental caps and other types of leasing restrictions. The solution is the single-family BTR subdivision, but developers need legal assistance in drafting specialized covenants, along with the formation of the homeowner association.

Assessment Collection

An annual budget is based on 100% participation, but unlike the federal government, an Association cannot print more money. We offer deferred payment of attorney fees for most collection services until the funds to pay for them are collected from the delinquent homeowner. This system allows communities to pursue delinquent assessments without depleting community funds in the process.

We strive to achieve the highest possible value for our clients. Client communications and legal expertise work in concert to ensure that community associations maintain community trust and uphold community standards with efficiency and integrity. Attorney Michael Rome has practiced law for 40 years, and he has over 30 years experience in advising association boards regarding a wide range of legal issues.

Deferred Payment of Collection Fees

Although our attorney fees are incurred at the time of service, the bulk of the fees are not payable by the association until the funds are collected from the delinquent homeowner. In this way the burden for the attorney fees is effectively shifted from the homeowners who pay on time to the delinquent homeowners. The association does not have to throw good money after bad. We do not receive a portion of what is owed to the association for the delinquent assessments like ‘contingency fees’ charged by collection agencies. Instead the attorney fees are added to what the delinquent homeowner owes. Property managers and Board members are able to view the detailed status of legal collections online using our ReadyCOLLECT service. In addition, a variety of reports can be printed out directly from the online service.
