Drop in an HOA budget, a board email, or meeting minutes. We'll show you what they don't want you to see — and give you exactly what to do about it.
If something feels off, you're not imagining it. Most people only find out after it's already cost them money.
You're not the only one seeing this.
Every week we hear from homeowners who thought they were the only one noticing. They weren't.
A special assessment just landed in our mailboxes with no warning — and no vote.
I asked for the budget breakdown. The board called it 'proprietary.'
The same vendor has had our management contract for 7 years. No one bids anymore.
The board treasurer's son-in-law got the new landscaping contract. No one else was even considered.
Minutes from the last three meetings haven't been posted. When I asked, they said they're 'working on it.'
Our dues doubled in two years. When I asked where it's going, I got a form letter.
If you've said any of these things out loud, you already have everything we need to show you what's really happening.
Here's what we found from an HOA budget review. Not a summary. Not a score. A specific plan with names, dates, and a letter ready to send.
Management fees jumped 69% with no explanation. The board's treasurer called financial records "proprietary" when asked for an itemized breakdown. Meanwhile, 31% of the operating budget goes to a single vendor whose registered agent is the board president's brother. A $3,200 per-unit special assessment was approved without proper vote — and reserves were cut to fund it.
The board approved a $3,200 special assessment while cutting reserves — the money is going somewhere, and they won't say where. The vendor conflict means the board president's family financially benefits from every contract renewal. 127 homeowners have signed a petition, and the board's only response has been silence.
Example output from an HOA budget and governance analysis.
You don't need to know what you're looking for. Drop in what you have. We'll find what's buried.
A budget PDF. A board email. Meeting minutes. Whatever made you suspicious. Any HOA document works.
Financial red flags, conflicts of interest, governance violations — cross-referenced against public records and corporate filings you didn't know existed.
Not legal advice. A structured discovery with evidence, entity investigations, and a letter ready to send with real names, dates, and amounts.
These aren't hypothetical. These are patterns we see again and again in real HOA documents.
69% increase, no competitive bids, same company for 6 years. HOA Heroes detects the pattern and drafts a formal disclosure demand.
31% of the budget flows to one vendor whose registered agent is a board member's relative. HOA Heroes catches the conflict of interest.
You asked for an itemized budget. The treasurer refused. HOA Heroes identifies the legal violation and tells you exactly which statute to cite.
$1,200 per unit, no vote, 60-day deadline. HOA Heroes checks if your CC&Rs require a vote and drafts the challenge letter.
The board treasurer's company gets the biggest contract. No competitive bids. HOA Heroes catches the name match and flags the conflict.
Reserves at 4% when best practice is 25%. The board avoids saving, then hits you with lump-sum assessments. HOA Heroes identifies the cycle.
You don't have to fight this alone. Most people don't.
Every discovery gets a shareable link. Drop it in an email thread, a group chat, or a neighborhood meeting. Neighbors can follow the discovery, add what they've seen, and stay notified when things change. Boards count on residents staying isolated — this is how you break that.
100+ homeowners can follow the same discovery and get notified together.
Free during beta. Drop in a document and see what's really going on.
You've already done the hard part — trusting your gut. We'll show you the rest.
