Common questions
What should happen before residents are invited to an HOA portal?
The board should verify unit records, resident contacts, balances, roles, documents, payment setup, and at least one end-to-end resident test.
Why use access requests for an HOA portal?
Access requests let residents ask for portal access while giving the board a review step before connecting someone to private community records.
