The Florida legislature finished up their 2024 annual session at the end of March. This was an interesting year for real estate investors with at least one big victory for our industry. We were actively monitoring 36 real estate related bills being discussed in the halls in Tallahassee. 7 of these bills passed and are on their way to the governor to sign or veto.  The full text of all these bills is available at https://flsenate.gov under the “enrolled” version in the links below. Please make sure to always consult your own attorney if you have specific questions on how a law might affect your business.  Here is a summary of what happened during this session.

That’s because it’s comparing the most recent numbers to a time when foreclosures were at historic lows. And that lopsided comparison is making it sound like a much bigger de...

According to recent data from Fannie Mae, almost 1 in 4 people still think home prices are going to come down. If you’re one of the people worried about that, here’s what you need to know.A lot of that fear is probably coming from what you’re hearing in the media or reading online. But here’s the thing to remember. Negative news sells. That means, you may not be getting the full picture. You may only be getting the clickbait version. As Jay Thompson, a Real Estate Industry Consultant, explains:“Housing market headlines are everywhere. Many are quite sensational, ending with exclamation points or predicting impending doom for the industry. Clickbait, the sensationalizing of headlines and content, has been an issue since the dawn of the internet, and housing news is not immune to it.”Here...
