HOA Pulse lists two categories of articles:
Web articles are links to items of interest to the industry that are published in other locations. We sift through the all the information published and select 25 - 50 items each week to feature on HOA Pulse. This saves you the effort of spending countless hours searching the web trying to find items related to the industry. We also elminate duplicates, as so many newspapers pick up the same story and republish it. We add our own comments to the links we provide, and add "keyword tags" to make information easier to find. As an example, an article published in a newspaper might be about a landscaope dispute between an associaton and one of its members, but nowhere in the article will it mention that this is a "rules enforcement" issue. We add that broad category in as a keyword tag so that you can more easily find articles you're interested in.
