A typical HOA management company charges $50–$100 per unit per month — that's $5,000–$10,000/month for a 100-unit community. LotWize replaces the same admin work with AI for $59–$149/month flat. You keep full control. The AI does the busywork.
When HOA Management Company makes sense
A traditional management company still makes sense for very large communities (500+ units), communities with extensive on-site amenities requiring daily physical presence, or boards that prefer to fully delegate operations rather than oversee them.
