Buying a home can be a smart way to protect your budget. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your principal and interest remain stable—even as rent continues to climb. Plus, home values typically appreciate faster than inflation, meaning your investment grows over time. How would a fixed housing payment change the way you plan for the future? Let’s talk about making your next move a solid investment in stability.

If we want to make Florida affordable for full-time residents, we need to rethink how property taxes work. Right now, 44% of Miami-Dade’s properties are vacation homes & investments. If we eliminate property taxes, it helps investors more than locals—driving up home prices even further. Should Florida adjust tax policies to better support full-time homeowners? Or should investment properties get the same benefits? Let me know your take! ?? Thinking of buying or selling in South Florida?

Did you know that in some Miami cities, there are MORE vacation homes & investment properties than full-time residents? In places like Aventura, Doral, Miami Beach, and Brickell, non-homestead properties outnumber primary residences, meaning investors and foreign buyers have a huge presence in the market. This raises an important question—should they receive the same tax benefits as full-time Floridians? ?? What do you think? Drop a comment below! Thinking of buying or selling in South Florida?
