Design a funded reserve, approval limits and evidence trail so urgent repairs do not turn into unmanaged owner costs.
Liquidity is part of property management
An overseas owner needs more than an annual budget. Air-conditioning, pumps, leaks, storm damage, guest relocation and urgent safety work can require quick decisions. Define which costs belong to routine operations, the property reserve, an insurance claim or a capital project.
Set a reserve target from the asset plan, not a generic percentage. The management agreement should state who holds the money, approval thresholds, emergency authority, competitive-quote rules, documentation, related-party disclosure and replenishment. Reconcile every movement in the monthly owner statement and prohibit mixing client funds with operating cash.
Use the management agreement guide, owner KPI guide, replacement reserve plan and management service.

Fact check
Repair costs, insurance coverage, tax/accounting treatment, banking arrangements and licensing duties vary. Confirm current contracts, quotations and professional advice; no reserve level guarantees performance.
