Many San Diego HOA boards face the choice between self-management and hiring a full-service property management company. Management companies typically charge $10–$22 per unit per month — for a 75-unit community that is $750–$1,650/month. Self-managed boards with the right software can handle the same work at a fraction of the cost.
LotWize helps self-managed HOA boards handle budgets, violations, communications, and reserve planning — all in one place. No property management company required.
