Cynthia Paul (Montsinger) Morales, LCAM, CMCA, AMS

“I have worked with Paul many times in my field of community association management. Specifically, I have called upon him for preparation of reserve studies to help me to determine the value of the assets for each of my communities. Also included in the reserve study is the estimated useful life, estimated replacement cost and current condition of these assets. With this information I am able to determine what to budget for future capital improvements for my customers. Paul’s expertise can’t be beat!
