Between carrying costs, having to potentially raise equity and/or utilizing debt during the pre-development period  had I settled plus associated time, I  probably would have spent a similar amount of money.

Hi Jeffrey, In Florida, when a property is purchased at a foreclosure auction by a third-party bidder (not the bank), the purchaser is generally responsible for unpaid homeowners association (HOA) assessments that accrued prior to the acquisition of the property according to Florida Statutes.

I think they all have fees associated with the account if it doesn't meet the threshold.

@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

There are some solid real estate meetups in Phoenix, and groups like AZREIA (Arizona Real Estate Investors Association) can be great for networking and finding deals.If you're open to it, I’d be happy to connect and share insights on the local market.

I don’t have a specific recommendation off the top of my head, but for HOA/condo insurance, it’s usually best to start with a broker who specializes in multifamily or association policies.
