Dear Florida
Homeowner and Condo Owners;
It looks like we're getting a nice Christmas
present -- finally: VACCINE AGAINST THE
CHINESE VIRUS! According to recent press
releases the vaccines are being distributed and
plans to distribute the vaccines are already in
the making -- locations are being prepared.
Never in the history has a vaccine been so
quickly created and made ready for use.
The biggest "SHOPPING DAYS"
of the year are over and it seems that
shoppers broke records shopping on-line.
But I hope that many of you shopped as
well in family-owned local stores. These
stores have a real hard time surviving
the Chinese Virus. Support your local
stores. Otherwise we'll see a lot of "CLOSED"
signs next year and the numbers of
unemployed rising quickly.
Politicians will always be politicians.
And the temptation to fill their own
pockets -- or that of family members --
seems to be overwhelming. And to me it
looks like only the little local
politicians are getting prosecuted,
while the Big Guys get away with it
because they are protected by the media.
COME ON MAN -- let's go as well
after the big shots, also known as
professional politicians.
Mobile Home Parks seem to be an
interesting target for investors. In
recent times the media reported about
quite a few mobile home parks being
sold. The new owners are raising the
rent -- and some of them are obviously
hoping that the owners of the mobile
homes will move due to the increased
rents. Don't forget: The land of these
mobile home parks is very valuable since
most of them are located in areas much
in demand to build condos or single
family homes located in homeowners'
associations.
This week we are blogging about
presidents acting like dictators. It
only happens all too often. Why can they
do it -- and how to stop it -- is always
the big question. Please read my blog
posted yesterday: "BOARD PRESIDENT
= DICTATOR?"

Pasco
Commissioner Jack Mariano target of federal
investigation
The FBI and IRS are investigating
Pasco County Commissioner Jack
Mariano’s ties to the disbursement
of a $600,000 anonymous donation
intended to help outfit a
county-owned park, and his later
purchase of vacant Gulf-front
property earmarked for a condominium
development. Jamie Maloney, the
former head of Student Survival
Inc., the defunct charity that
distributed the donation, said he
was interviewed Friday by agents
from the two federal agencies. He
said their questions focused on
Mariano.

Investors put The
Falls mobile home park in Ormond Beach under
contract; acquires 2 others
Two out-of-state investment companies have
teamed up to acquire a pair of 55-and-older
manufactured home communities in Port Orange and
have put another one, The Falls mobile home park
in Ormond Beach, under contract. The trio of
deals are expected to top $170 million. Bob
Miller, the CEO of Cleveland, Tennessee-based
MHM Communities, confirmed that his company and
Glen Allen, Virginia-based Capital Square 1031
are the new owners of the Maplewood Estates and
neighboring Treasure Isle Estates communities on
Spruce Creek Road. |

Why West Palm
offered condo owners $2.5M for sidewalk
http://www.ccfj.net/condo$2.5MSidew.html
Sometime in the distant past, the city made a
mistake, a simple unforeseen slip in a complex
series of agreements. The city made money off
that mistake. Now, the city could be forced to
pay millions. A still-unfinished proposal
floated a year ago to resolve all the issues
surrounding the Palm Harbor Marina and its
adjoining condo tower on Flagler Drive calls for
the city to pay the condo owners $2.5 million —
to buy the rights to a sidewalk the city already
own |
Stretch of sand on Palm Beach
being overrun by 'mobs' brings old issue to
forefront: is the beach public or private?
http://www.ccfj.net/condoBeachPublic.html
Unmannerly “mobs” descended on a previously
lightly used beach in the Town of Palm Beach
after coronavirus restrictions limited summer
activities, and now residents are literally
staking claim to their privately-held sand.
White plastic posts were planted last month on a
stretch of beach north of The Breakers resort to
distinguish between where beachgoers can be
cited for trespassing and the area closer to the
water where it’s OK to play. |
Hundreds of
Florida renters evicted during pandemic despite
CDC order
Nicole Kelley felt confident when she dialed
into her eviction hearing in late September. A
Lyft driver whose income had dropped off during
the pandemic, she had submitted to the court a
copy of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention form in which she swore, under
penalty of perjury, that she fit the criteria to
be protected from eviction until 2021. But the
hearing lasted five minutes, and she felt like
the judge barely acknowledged the form. A few
weeks later, her landlord texted to say she had
to be out in three days. She sat on the floor of
her Brandon rental duplex and cried. |

Five
Biggest Myths About Homeowners’ Associations
http://www.ccfj.net/HOAgenBigMyth.html
Homeowners
associations are responsible for creating and
enforcing rules across their community. Here are
some of the biggest myths. Millions of people in
America live in areas that are managed by homeowners
associations. A homeowner association is a private
organization organized by a real estate developer to
oversee, manage, and market their real estate
community. Many condos, co-ops, and even a handful
of neighborhoods consist of member residences.

HOA
Fees: What You Should Know Before You Buy
http://www.ccfj.net/HOAgenFeesKnow.html
If you’re looking
to buy a home, you’re likely familiar with the main
monthly costs associated with it—mortgage, taxes and
insurance. But you may need to add another one, as
well: Homeowners association (HOA) fees. You’ll
probably join an HOA if you’re purchasing a home in
a condominium development, townhome complex, gated
community or any neighborhood where your association
is in charge of upkeep of common areas. |
