"Nothing is certain but death and taxes", a quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, especially applies to real estate because, depending how you own your properties, taxes will be paid upon your death. How much depends on the planning you do ahead of time. In this episode, we interview Jennie Farshchian, founder of Farshchian Law, a real estate and probate law firm. She shares her years of experience as both a real estate owner and probate attorney and gives tips on the best way to own property and, more importantly, minimize the stress of your family at a difficult time for them.

It is great to be Florida, and even better to be Miami/South Florida, according to KC Conway of KCnomics. KC was the main speaker at the Miami CCIM Outlook Conference 2025. Our economy is robust and growing. Looking forward to 2025 KC says industrial, multifamily and data centers are going to occupy 2/3 of investors interest in 2025.
Roderick Miller with the Beacon Council mentioned that 20-30% of companies coming to Miami are in the financial sector.
Not all is rosy, on a national level headwinds include insurance (both property and casualty insurance are increasing) and consumer credit (credit card debt and home equity loans) high.
So much information on our local market is packed into this episode.

In the episode we give a brief overview of what we saw in our #SouthFloridaCRE market after the elections and the Fed's two rate decreases. Listings that we had not been get much activity on went under contract or was leased, buyers we had on the fence put in LOI's, and we started hearing from other brokers that they were seeing the same thing. The market hates uncertainty and once we knew who won national, state, and local elections and that the Fed wasn't going to rapidly decrease rates due to stubborn inflationary signs, the market was ready to start executing. Tune in next week when we do a deeper dive into what expectations are for #MiamiCRE in 2025 based on highlights from the #CCIMMiami Outlook Conference.

Sounds pretty harmless, right? In this episode with discuss issues with, and alternatives to, a right of first refusal. When you take a listing or write a lease in a commercial condo, read their documents especially Article 8 of their bylaws, which relates to Right of First Refusal.

Here's a riddle: Landlords aren't crazy about them and tenants always want them. What are they? I know the title of this episode gave it away, but the answer is tenant improvements, better known as TI. To give or not to give, that is the question.

I met Carson online on LinkedIn. I had been following him for a while because he is a land broker in Fort Myers, Florida. I used to own investment property there and like to keep my pulse on that market. His down to earth style and his willingness to share his social media faux pas made me an insta-fan. One of them had me LOL and when I saw him at a conference, I went up to him and said, "Hi. Aren't you the guy that...." (you'll have to listen to learn the rest). We laughed and chatted for a while and now here he is, sharing his CRE experiences with you.
