... and why you may be paying more and getting less The Insurance Industry has lost billions over the past few years due to a series of natural disasters and tragedies and similar to Las Vegas they don't like to lose money keep in mind that insurance is designed to mitigate risk and depending how risky your condo building is the cost to insure can go up dramatically the only way to pay for this is to raise the HOA fees which can make them unaffordable to many owners some condo associations have made a decision to carry insurance that is lower than full replacement cost which means that if there is a disaster where the building cannot be repaired and must be demolished and ultimately rebulit there would not be enough insurance money available to put up the new building the owners would then need to pay a special assessment to complete the new building and if that is not possible  the owners, in essence, own a share of the dirt where the condo once stood we go over the nitty gritty details in today show

The "Special Report: Florida's 2025 Condo Association Financial Cliff" series is brought to you by the Miami Real Estate Investing Podcast. Expert Peter Zalewski of the Miami Condo Market Investing Club™ discusses the implications of the upcoming 2025 law requiring Florida condo associations to set aside reserves to prevent disasters like the Surfside condo collapse. The podcast features Miami Condo Expert Peter Zalewski interviewing Andy "Daro" Rotondaro, a Realtor and North Bay Village Commissioner. The conversation examined strategies for owners facing condo association special assessments in the runup to the Florida's 2025 Condo Association Financial Cliff. A lot has changed since June 24, 2021 when the Champlain Towers South collapsed on the barrier island in Miami-Dade County. Nearly 100 people died and a $1 billion settlement was reached with the families of the victims. Some industry watchers have compared it to an inflection point on par with the Category 5 Hurricane Andrew that devastated South Miami-Dade County in August 1992 and led to more stringent building code requirements in South Florida. Since the 2021 collapse, older units are said to be tougher to sell, insurance prices are spiking year-over-year and association maintenance fees and special assessments are squeezing owners to the brink. In response to the Surfside disaster, Florida is requiring associations that govern older condo projects to study the structural integrity of all buildings on their properties and begin funding the necessary repairs by January 2025, ending the practice of deferring work and costs. People are dubbing this moment as the 2025 Condo Association Financial Cliff as it expected to result in significantly higher costs for unit owners. Industry watchers are at odds as to the direction of the South Florida housing market through the end of 2024 and into next year. Bullish investors are predicting housing demand will reignite once the Federal Reserve begins to cut interest rates. Bearish investors contend that condo prices are too high from the run up in work-from-home buyers during the pandemic years and likely to collapse in the months ahead if the economy slows and these transplants leave South Florida. To stay abreast of the volatile South Florida condo market, we would encourage you to join the newly launched Miami Condo Market Investing Club™. The objective of the Club is to create a community that shares realtime, actionable information on the latest real estate trends, opportunities and service providers in South Florida, The Club is ideally suited for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) condo buyers who can rely on our latest statistics, expert opinions and access to consulting services.

Research Associate Jill Roof discusses how Royal Oak Township provides an example of how the design of Michigan's municipal finance system has allowed certain local governments to use ad valorem special assessments to live beyond their property tax revenue raising means. However, Royal Oak's use of these assessments is largely a byproduct of the fiscal constraints placed upon it - it literally has no other revenue raising options to fund services like fire protection and garbage disposal. Local governments like Royal Oak Township may need us to review how state law governs city incorporation and annexation and how local services are funded and provided.

Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/22U4HWFMaGY Dive into Section 4, the "sneaky" section of the Utah Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC). What gets prorated, and by how much? What are special assessments, and who pays them? What fees might occur during a transaction, and how are they split? 0:46 - 4.1 Prorations - or "pro rata" if you like your Latin. Haha. Rents and taxes get prorated (or proportioned) between the buyer and seller.  1:45 - 4.2 Special Assessments. A special assessment is charged to specific, local homeowners for a capital expense (like a sewer line, an elevator, or a road repair) that is valuable only to those properties. It may be imposed by an HOA or a local government. Seller needs to disclose assessments, and may be responsible to pay them EVEN if the transaction closes before the assessment is imposed! Be transparent! 3:30 - What does "...shall survive closing" mean? After the contract is "executed" or "finished," these things continue. 4:50 - 4.3 Fees, costs, and payment obligations. There are deposits that need to transfer with the transaction (like a security deposit).  6:18 - Lease contracts supersede the purchase contract. That may seem backwards, but remember the tenant has the right to fulfillment of their contract as well.  7:12 - 4.3c is Jason's favorite part of the contract: Change of Ownership fees. These can be expensive, and the Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) overrules the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). 8:45 - Transfer utilities at settlement. The seller is responsible before settlement, the buyer is responsible after settlement. This is regardless of possession. 9:48 - The title company holds the money and makes sure everyone gets paid. Afterward, the seller gets to keep all the rest, which is called "proceeds".  10:03 - What'd we learn today? 11:30 - Bloopers. *No pies were harmed in the filming of this real estate discussion.

I've had multiple Special Assessments on my condo in Portland. As an investment property, it's certainly had its financial burdens. It doesn't mean that real estate investing isn't worthwhile.
