🏗️ Thinking about purchasing a pre-construction property in Florida?

Before signing a developer contract, make sure you understand exactly what you’re agreeing to.

Pre-construction contracts are often drafted to protect the developer’s interests and may contain provisions regarding construction delays, assignment restrictions, financing contingencies, closing costs, and default remedies that can significantly impact your investment.

At Yana Manotas, P.A., we help buyers navigate the legal side of pre-construction purchases by:

✔️ Reviewing and negotiating developer contracts
✔️ Analyzing deposit and escrow provisions
✔️ Reviewing condominium documents and disclosures
✔️ Advising on assignments and resale options
✔️ Coordinating with lenders, brokers, and developers
✔️ Representing buyers through closing

Whether you are purchasing your first pre-construction condo or adding to your investment portfolio, having legal counsel involved early can help you avoid costly surprises later.

🚨 MAJOR FLORIDA PROPERTY TAX UPDATE 🚨

Governor DeSantis has proposed a massive plan to slash and potentially eliminate Florida property taxes. A landmark constitutional amendment could be on your ballot this November.

Here is what you need to know:

🗳️ What’s on the Ballot?

$250K Exemption: An immediate increase from the current $50,000 homestead exemption.

Path to $500K+: Groundwork to raise it to $500,000, aiming to eventually eliminate primary residence property taxes entirely.

Residency Rule: New residents arriving after Jan 1, 2027, must wait 5 years to qualify.

🏠 How It Affects You

Immediate Savings: A $250K exemption would eliminate property taxes for ~60% of Florida homeowners.

The Vote: This requires a 60% approval vote from Floridians this November to pass.

This is a historic shift that could majorly impact your real estate strategy and homestead residency.

📈 Wondering how this impacts your property or next purchase? Don’t wait until November. Contact our office today to ensure your real estate plans are ahead of the curve.
