Want to know how the HOA reserve fund can get best return. Our current HOA reserve fund gets pathetic 0.5% interest rate from bank.
Are there any CDs for HOA which are FDIC insured?

Just talk to different banks and see what they offer for small businesses, because that's likely how your HOA will be treated. We have ours (about $20k) in a money market earning about 4%. It's likely that any CD or Money Market at an established bank is going to be FDIC insured. If you go with CD's I would recommend laddering different amounts for different lengths of time. In other words, get some 3 month, 6 month, 12 month, etc. You don't want to lose all your interest when your boiler breaks and you need to get money out of a CD to buy a new one.

We use Corus Bank which is local to us in Chicago. They are at 3.85% (I said about 4%).

some people don't want to make money on their investments.

I could probably hold a gun to my mother's head and tell her if she didn't transfer her money to Vanguard I would put her down like a horse and she would still refuse to jump ship from her 0.8% money market.
