In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson examine two urgent real estate issues facing buyers and investors in 2025. First, they take a close look at the growing interest in office to housing conversion, especially in cities struggling with high vacancy rates and lack of affordable housing. They explore how local governments are incentivizing developers to repurpose commercial buildings, and why co-housing might be the only financially viable option in many of these conversions. Erin shares why the rise in remote work is pushing companies to reevaluate office space, while James warns of the unintended consequence of turning corporate buildings into glorified company dorms. Then they unpack the implications of the Fannie Mae condo blacklist, which quietly renders thousands of condo buildings ineligible for traditional financing due to stricter post-Surfside regulations. From insurance issues with HOAs to outdated building maintenance, Erin and James reveal how being labeled a non-warrantable condo can trap sellers and scare off buyers—especially since there's no public access to the list. They offer a helpful reminder to always ask about a condo's loan eligibility and recommend working with agents who understand how to interpret HOA financials and compliance documents. Whether you're looking to invest in co-living spaces or buy a condo, this episode is packed with actionable advice and critical insights into the realities of urban housing in 2025.

It is fitting that the week of the Master's we discover a new twist on the Arnold Palmer.  Troy is back from Spring Break, and it sounds like he managed to find a cheeseburger in paradise multiple times.  He is officially marked safe back home; we can't say the same for the wife of the Weezer bassist. 

The Pirates got additional heat over the weekend for having a Surfside ad on the right field wall in replacement of the Roberto Clemente patch. Poni compared the outrage from fans like an argument in a marriage. It's a proxy to what is the big picture issue. Fans would be more lenient if the team had spent more money on players this off-season.

Our guest this week is a legend who had a prolific career and is one of the most recognizable and accomplished Surfers of all time. He has won over 100 Surfing competitions, including multiple victories at the US Surfing and the International Surfing Championships. He is a Musician, an Artist, a Writer, and was the 1st in many of Surfing's Historic Milestones. First person EVER to be paid and receive endorsements as a Surfer, first Surfer to have a production PRO model shortboard, first to win a contest with prize money, and was the youngest member on the iconic Hobie Alter Team.

Send us a textOur last episode of Take It To The Board involved a discussion with an owner in a luxury high-rise who had become disenchanted with some of the governance issues in his community.  Today's episode takes us further on that path as host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Spencer Hennings, who brings firsthand knowledge as Florida's former Condominium Ombudsman about the types of owner complaints he saw time and again while serving in that role. Appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2020, Spencer served in this critical role until 2023, resolving thousands of condominium disputes, acting as the state's liaison during the Miami-Dade Surfside condo collapse, and helping to draft impactful condominium legislation at both local and state levels.During their conversation, Spencer shares how he transformed the ombudsman's office into a more accessible resource for Floridians and reflects on his crucial involvement during and after the Surfside tragedy. Together, Donna and Spencer explore the potential establishment of a state ombudsman for Homeowners Associations (HOAs), discussing the potential complexities of such a role and the importance of fair and balanced representation.Spencer also addresses the common misconception that the ombudsman's office exclusively advocates for unit owners, emphasizing the critical need for impartiality. The discussion further examines the evolving challenges in community association management, particularly in the wake of disasters, outdated processes, and the increasing trend of condo terminations in vulnerable areas like Florida.As they wrap up, Spencer reflects on the emotional toll of working in the Ombudsman's Office and offers candid advice for those who may follow in his footsteps, leaving listeners with a deeper understanding of the challenges and rewards of this vital oversight role.This episode covers everything from legislative hurdles to the personal journey of navigating public service in Florida's complex association landscape, and is one you don't want to miss!.Conversation Highlights Include:What inspired Spencer to pursue the role of Condominium OmbudsmanThe most common complaints from condo owners Balancing the interests of owners, board members and other stakeholdersCommon misconceptions about the role of the Condominium OmbudsmanSpencer's advice to every condo owner and every board member Do Florida HOAs need their own Ombudsman?

In this episode of the Miami Condo Minute™ micropodcast, host Peter Zalewski - founder of the Miami Condo Investing Club™ - discusses the implosion of the Florida Legislature's Special Session that was requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to deal with pressing issues, including providing relief for cash-strapped condo owners facing skyrocketing fees. During the nearly six-minute podcast, Zalewski explains how things went sideways for condo owners who were hoping for a government bailout or deadline extension during the Special Session. He also reflects on a prediction by State Rep. Mike Caruso (R-Delray Beach) who said that Florida is on the brink of seeing a surge in condo foreclosures beginning as soon as March. Rep. Caruso highlighted that many elderly residents on fixed incomes are struggling with increased fees and special assessments, a situation exacerbated by laws enacted post-Surfside condo collapse.

GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS called a special session to deal with a financial crisis facing millions of condo residents, but so far, the Legislature is balking. It's all about dealing with expensive repairs to aging buildings in the wake of the deadly collapse of the Champlain Towers building in Surfside in 2021. Combined with property insurance rates, condo ownership is becoming unaffordable. Our guest is Dana Goldman, a former mayor of Sunny Isles Beach and a condo law expert - we ask her about the challenges that policymakers are facing. And, in in our second segment, Tony and Jan talk about how a man with a cigar changed policy in Key Biscayne.Send us a textSupport the showSubscribe to the Key Biscayne Independent today

In legal news, Move's ‘fake leads' lawsuit has been transferred to federal court, while the embattled sale-leaseback platform EasyKnock has shut its doors, leaving investors and clients in the lurch. And in a surprising twist, Jason Oppenheim has been identified as the mystery broker at the center of a kickback plot. On the market front, mortgage refinance demand has surged 27% as rates dropped for the third consecutive week, and buyers are becoming more active, with house tours and mortgage applications picking up as we head into the year's final stretch. However, the Florida market is facing a looming ‘condo cliff' crisis, as fallout from the 2021 Surfside collapse prompts stricter regulations. Additionally, we'll explore what you need to know about the new Federal Flood Risk Management System, how 2024 local election results highlight voters' willingness to spend big on affordable housing, and the truth about traffic—what's driving clicks, leads, and sales in real estate marketing.

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 Jose Pazos of A-Smart CAM LLC property management in Miami. Pazos' property management firm handles the administrative responsibilities of more than 6,000 residences condo and homeowners associations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties in South Florida. It is an anxious time to be a property manager who advises, guides and provides support for condo associations in Florida. With less 90 days to go until condo associations are forced to adhere to a series of new administrative and financial measures instituted by the Florida Legislature, property management companies are scrambling to prepare for what is expected to be a volatile 2025. 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™ at PeterZalewski.substack.com. 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 "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 Zalewski interviewing Carlos Villanueva, a veteran chief building engineer who has overseen the operations of condo towers, office buildings and retail centers in South Florida for more than 30 years. Villanueva, principal of SeeWhyConsultingLLC.com, said many condo buyers, owners and board members often obsess about cosmetic details, such as lobby flower arrangements, air fresheners and staff courtesy. As important as these measures may be to a condo association's vibe, they are unlikely to affect the big ticket items that directly impact a tower's life safety measures and special assessments in the runup to the Florida's 2025 Condo Association Financial Cliff.

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.

This week on Taplines, we're going cross-category with our pond-crossing pal from Cocktail College: VinePair's managing editor, Tim McKirdy. Tune in for a genre-breaking conversation about how the hard seltzer boom gave way to a bust that cleared the board for Twisted Tea's decades-in-the-making moment in the sun — and paved the runway that vodka-based interloper and VinePair Next Wave 2025 Rising Drinks Brand of the Year finalist Surfside is currently speeding down.

Brands are often founded with the purpose of aligning with a given trend and exploiting a perceived white space in the market. In the mid-2000s, introducing a premium bourbon may have seen high growth, likewise for rolling out a specialty high-end tequila in the early to mid-2010s. But when founders really get it right, and their offering is able to align with multiple trends at once, it's possible to see uniquely explosive growth. Such was the case for Surfside, which saw over a million cases sold over the course of a year between 2022 and 2023. Surfside is a Philadelphia-based ready-to-drink brand rolled out by the creators of Stateside Vodka. With RTDs taking center stage as the spirits industry's spotlight category, Surfside was able to build on this platform to leverage consumer interest in flavor variety, health consciousness, and convenience into the highest-growth brand in the United States. On this episode of the Park Street Insider Podcast, Emily Pennington is joined by Clement Pappas, CEO of Stateside Brands. The two discuss how Surfside went from concept to can to achieving astronomical sales in just a few years. They'll explore the brand's unique route-to-market strategy and how they dealt with demand and scaled the business.

Hour 4: 6:05pm- Alvin Bragg Tries to Portray Daniel Penny As the Villain By Banning Key Testimony: Kyle Schnitzer and Steve Janoski of The New York Times writes: “Prosecutors are trying to ban testimony at Daniel Penny's upcoming trial that would detail Jordan Neely's psychiatric history and chronic abuse of the drug K2—something Penny's lawyers argued ‘goes to the heart of any justification defense' in the lightning-rod subway chokehold case. Defense attorneys for the ex-Marine—who faces manslaughter charges for allegedly choking Neely to death on a Manhattan train car in May 2023—want forensic psychiatrist Dr. Alexander Bardey to testify about Neely's abuse of the synthetic cannabinoid at next month's trial. They also want to introduce Neely's voluminous psychiatric records, which include 6,000 pages' worth of material that detail the homeless man's family history, surgeries, prior ‘bad acts' and more, according to court documents.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/09/18/us-news/daniel-penny-manslaughter-trial-da-wants-to-ban-testimony-on-jordan-neelys-psych-history-k-2-abuse-before-subway-chokehold-death/ 6:30pm- Josh Shapiro Forgets His ID, Can't Buy Alcohol While Promoting New Cocktail Bill. Elizabeth Crisp of The Hill writes: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) may have been the first consumer denied an alcoholic beverage under a new state law expanding access to canned cocktails. Shapiro, in a celebratory appearance at a Rutter's convenience store in Central Pennsylvania, had hoped to buy some Philadelphia-based Surfside tea and vodka. But the 51-year-old Democrat ended up demonstrating that even the governor can't buy booze without proper identification.” You can read the full article here: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4886451-pennsylvania-gov-denied-alcohol-shapiro/ 6:35pm- Iran Hacked Trump Campaign, Sent Info to Biden-Harris.

The "Special Report: Florida's 2025 Condo Association Financial Cliff" series is brought to you by the Miami Real Estate Investing Podcast. 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. This is a clip from a podcast with Richard Alfonso, the Director of Specialty Products at U.S. Century Bank in Miami. Alfonso provides insight into how monthly condo fees increase with a special assessment loan in Florida. Bank financing is an option for some Florida condo associations that are facing hefty special assessments to comply with the revisions of the Florida Condo Law. 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.

The podcast features Miami Condo Expert Peter Zalewski interviewing Andy "Daro" Rotondaro, a Realtor and North Bay Village Commissioner.

In this episode of The Real ResQ Podcast, host Jason Quinn is joined by James Murad, a firefighter paramedic from Florida. Murad discusses receiving the PuroClean Superhero Award and the surprise of being nominated for a national award.

He emphasizes the importance of thorough assessments and the need to expose patients to properly treat them.  Murad shares a particularly challenging call involving a motor vehicle crash on the Fourth of July, where multiple children were injured. He reflects on the emotional impact of losing a patient and the difficulty of comforting the family in such situations.  Murad shares a few more intense and memorable experiences from his career as a firefighter. A young girl suffered internal bleeding and became a trauma alert and a building collapsed in Surfside, Florida, where he was involved in the recovery efforts.

A few weeks ago we spoke about the surge in residential real estate in parts of Florida. Inventories are up in several markets. But we are also seeing a surge in condos appearing on the market in South Florida. In fact, the condo sale inventory is up 90% in South Florida and the volume of transactions has fallen through the floor. The number of sale transactions was the lowest it has been since 2012 which was at the bottom of the GFC.  We now have 8 months of inventory for condos as compared with last year and the sales statistics for 2024 to date are even lower than 2023.  Naples Florida has 12.5 months of supply in the condo market compared with 3.8 months at the same time last year. Active inventory is up 204%.  Sarasota has 3,600 condos for sale, an increase of 87% compared with the same time last year. Tampa has a 6100 condos for sale. These numbers were not seen since 2011.  The redneck Riviera is also seeing a surge in inventory. Pensacola's inventory is up 148%. Destin has 11.7 months of inventory.  We're talking strictly the condo market.  But Florida has a unique situation. If you remember the Surfside condo building that collapsed three years ago killing 98 people, the state of Florida implemented two new sets of regulations aimed at improving the safety of condo buildings. The first regulation instituted mandatory engineering inspections of condo buildings on a prescribed schedule.  The second regulation implements a strict set of guidelines for the condo corporation's reserve fund.  These two factors are causing condo fees to increase, on top of the rising expenses associated with insurance. This is resulting in special assessments of in many cases tens of thousands. ----------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

The office of Miami Dade County's State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle is in big trouble. Miami Herald investigative journalist Brittany Wallman explains why a deal the office made with a murderer may now set a lot of prisoners free. Friend of the program, Joshua Epstein, can't seem to stay out of trouble. First, he was falsely arrested in Surfside when former vice mayor Jeffery Rose claimed that he pushed him (he didn't). Two months later at New College, Joshua may have his degree withheld due to an incident at his commencement ceremony. Joshua joins us to talk about it.
