I can recommend https://kelleygrantlaw.com/firm-overview/attorneys/ i just did a deal with Jerron. Good team and reasonable. Tell him I sent you and if you want a broker on the deal message me, I can probably save you some money on the deal!


 Thank you

Hello, I’m looking to buy a condo preconstruction in Miami and I’m looking for a lawyer that has extensive experience going through contracts of developers and helping with negotiations


 you should look at developing them and get on the right side of the table. I always wondered who bought these in miami, we have been looking at ground up sites for this development 


 Im confused. If you are recommending the development side, I am not interested at this point.

Hi Pouya

Smart move with the preconstruction. 
Gaining equity without a mortgage payment is underrated IMO. 

Our team has extensive experience with Miami's preconstruction, from Cipriani to Ashton Martin.
Just sent you a friend request. 

Thank you Saba, great speaking with you over the phone.

90291 is risky. This community has a LOT of community activists. In my experience if it is not your actual home and if you faked anything to obtain your permit, they will uncover it and get it revoked. Seems like you obtained your permit without providing the truth since it appears you have many properties, and you can’t have all of them considered your full time residence. You have two options because you will get shut down. 1. Rent for a year 2. Sell. Best luck. 

90291 is my primary

Post: Property management fees are from gross or net?

Hi everyone,

For long term, is the norm to calculate PM's fees from gross or net income? 

For short term, I'm paying PM fees from net income after deducting maintenance/repair costs. Is this correct, or should utilities also be deducted before the payout?

Quote from @Pouya Banki:

Hi everyone, I am replacing my roof, have received quotations ranging $15,000 - $35,000 through my property manager. I created a spread sheet so my property manager can fill with data (total price, price/sf, warranty, start/finish date). This will help me get an over view of the quotations.  

My property manager ignored this request and forwarded me all the quotations. I asked if he could explain the quotations because there are items that i don't understand and to give his recommendation on which one to pick. He told me i can contact the vendors for questions and that he can't give his opinion on which one to pick. 

Is this normal? Am i expecting too much from my property manager?

 We provide the number of squares and total price. Typically, between $240- 260 per sq depending on pitch. Now if they discover rotted sheathing (plywood) that will be additional But our quotes include 3 pieces of plywood  15- 30k seems WAY off 

BTW its usually a one-day job 

Thank you for the feedback. Can you please explain how to calculate the cost based on the figures you mentioned? $250 x (area to be replaced)? It doesn't seem right.

 25O a sq, a sq is 10x 10, Avg house is 30 sq, so 250 x 30 

all the best 


 Thank you!

The PM is not a professional roofer. If they try to explain the bids and get something wrong, it opens them up to liability. If you want more details of a bid, then talk to the roofer that wrote the bid and will be doing the work.

The PM has already done more than they are obligated to by collecting multiple bids. As a PM, I would charge you a fee for that additional work or tell you to go procure your own bids.


Thank you! Around how much should I expect to pay so the PM gets more quotations?
