The HOA manager firm at my condo seems to be wasteful.
If you can avoid having one, do it. We’re too large to avoid it. The old owners occupants are getting to be too old and the newer owners are investors or busy professionals, so nobody really can audit or check them.
To take one example, they pay top dollar for every possible maintenance contract. Repainting the small laundry room that’s about 12×16 cost like $2500.
