the end of the economic decline, associations (like the average consumer) are still struggling to do more with less.

					  <description><![CDATA[New lending guidelines from HUD mean that FHA loan requirements will be significantly tightened for condominium sales. The new requirements could have a profoundly negative effect on the ability to sell or buy a condominium unit that requires FHA financing. It&#8217;s estimated that the vast majority the condominiums in New England will not meet the new guidelines, and unless they move quickly to comply they could see their property values directly impacted.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Since the board of a community association is usually composed of a collective group of unique individuals with their own
&nbsp;perspective and opinions, no two boards are ever the same. However, there are
&nbsp;certain overall, universal qualities that can either make or break a board, and
&nbsp;these are traits that everyone involved should emulate so things run smoothly.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Chris D&#8217;Errico has handled about 1,000 residential rentals in the Boston area since
&nbsp;2003. These days, more and more of his calls are from condominium owners.
&nbsp;Unable to find buyers for their homes, they&#8217;re turning to renting them. &#8220;It&#8217;s up about 50 percent from last year,&#8221; says D&#8217;Errico, the president of Greater Boston Properties in Winchester, Massachusetts.
&nbsp;&#8220;It&#8217;s a good thing.&#8221;

					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/237/1/Pressure-amp-Perks/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The drawbacks of serving on a board are well known. For one thing, it&rsquo;s a lot of work. Hours of work, of poring over spreadsheets, of talking to
&nbsp;property managers and vendors and residents and tenants when you could be
&nbsp;watching the big game. And what compensation do you get for all your blood,
&nbsp;sweat and tears? Not a penny. Up front, that&rsquo;s a lousy deal&mdash;labor and emotional investment with no reward.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Unlike many notable New England towns, Lenox, Massachusetts does not have a
 coastline. Nevertheless, it was once a prized destination of the rich and
 famous. Nestled in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, known to some as &#8220;The American Lake District,&#8221; the town even now maintains its sense of distinction, privilege and cultural
 eminence.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Lawsuits are an unfortunate, and expensive, fact of life. It&#8217;s been that way ever since the first civil courts in ancient Sumeria, and will
 be that way as long as there are two parties to dispute something. Chances are,
 if you live long enough, you&#8217;ll be involved in a lawsuit to some degree. And if you serve on a condominium
 board long enough, chances are good that your board will be named as a
 defendant in a lawsuit.
