Proactive HOA Management A Blueprint

11m | Aug 19, 2026

Tina Larsson was a Wall Street business analyst, not a property manager. Then her own maintenance bill made her furious:


"My husband and I, we owned a co-op.


We didn't pay attention at first. Then all of a sudden we said: wait a minute, why is the maintenance increasing by five percent every year for the last ten years in a row?


There were no infrastructure upgrades

to show for it."


So she did what any Wall Street analyst would do. She built a benchmark.


"I used my analytical skills and built a benchmark of other buildings so we could compare costs.

The new board was able, with my help, to save our building three hundred and forty thousand dollars."


Word got out fast.


"When I was out networking, instead of introducing myself as the financial advisor


I was professionally, I started introducing myself as: I helped my co-op save three hundred and forty thousand dollars.


And all these New Yorkers said: can I introduce you to my co-op board?"


That's how a personal frustration turned into The Folsom Group.


This episode goes deep into:

- Turning a personal frustration into a business

- Using financial analysis skills outside of Wall Street

- Organizing a co-op board takeover
