I recently worked with a board president who told me how long their meetings were. They wanted to ensure everyone’s voice was heard while also keeping the discussions productive.
Do you thrive in quick, punchy discussions, or do you appreciate the depth that longer meetings can provide?
Buying a condo or co-op? Don't stop at the listing.
@FolsonGrp shares two often-overlooked resources that can reveal far more about a building than the photos ever will: the financial statements and the board meeting minutes.

Did you know that more than 66 million Americans live in communities governed by an HOA, condo association, or co-op board?
@FolsonGrp breaks down how these boards are structured & the challenges volunteer board members face when overseeing decisions: https://t.co/2fpY0wrAYN
Yesterday’s tentative agreement between #32BJ SEIU and building owners is an important step toward stability.
We need contracts that respect essential workers and reflect the financial pressures facing #coops , #condos , and small buildings. This is a step in that direction.
Happy Friday, everyone! 🌟
As we wrap up another week, let's celebrate the tough climbs and wins along the way.
Success is about the journey, not just the destination.
Share your win this week in the comments!
"No one gives you a Co-op Board 101 when you buy in NYC—you get keys, then run a multi-million $ building.
That’s why I wrote Living the High Life—less guessing, more smart choices.

The year’s winding down — time to notice the little things that make a big difference.
Ask one more question. Give that report one last look. Stay curious instead of assuming it’s all covered.
What’s one small thing you’ll pay extra attention to in the New Year?
"Every December, boards rush budgets and surprise owners with assessments.
It’s like waiting until December to adjust business expenses. 📊
Ask for a draft budget after June closeout — a midyear forecast keeps things proactive, not reactive.
Predictability builds trust."
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” — Walt Disney
We’re in that quiet in-between: Christmas is past, New Year’s not here yet. Perfect time to take one small step toward that idea you’ve been thinking about. Even messy — just start. ✅
What’s one step you’ll take this week?
Biggest surprise I find during building walkthroughs?
Boiler controls.
Boards think they’re fine—until they aren’t.
LL97 requires sensors in 25% of units. Most buildings miss it.
If you’re due in 2026, read this before winter hits. ❄️
Boiler controls are almost always the hidden challenge in walkthroughs. A little attention now can save huge headaches later.

3 things I wish everyone knew about setting goals:
Clarity beats motivation. Share the goal—accountability helps. And take imperfect action—movement matters more than perfect.
Excitement fades. Clarity + action don’t. 💡
✨ Goals aren’t just about ambition—they’re about clarity, accountability, and action. The right approach can turn big ideas into real progress. Read more here: https://t.co/h5mC3AH47z
