  Why Florida Insurance Is So Expensive And What’s Changing

  Sep 23, 202622 min

  Florida insurance has become one of the biggest conversations for property owners, homeowners, developers, and investors and understanding why prices move requires looking deeper than the premium on your policy. In this episode, I sit down with Brian and Paul Remer of Remer Insurance to talk about what’s happening inside Florida’s insurance market, from recent property insurance pricing changes to the role of carriers, brokers, and reinsurance companies. We talk about how the insurance supply chain actually works, why reinsurance can have such a significant impact on pricing, how hurricane risk affects the market, and why different types of coverage can move in completely different directions. We also explore emerging insurance risks around industries like cannabis and data centers, where a single failure can create enormous downstream liability. Beyond insurance, Brian and Paul share what they’ve learned working together as brothers in a family business approaching 50 years, including the values their father instilled in them about relationships, quality control, and never believing a job is beneath you. If you own real estate, operate a business, or simply want to better understand where your insurance premium actually goes, this conversation provides a look inside an industry most people only think about when something goes wrong.

  Miami Real Estate Strategy | Key Lessons & Trends for 2026

  Sep 16, 202613 min

  Florida has experienced extraordinary growth over the last several years. People moved here. Businesses moved here. Capital moved here. But success creates its own challenges. In this episode, I share my perspective on what Florida needs to think about as it enters its next chapter. The question isn’t simply how we keep growing—it’s how we grow well. Housing affordability, property insurance, infrastructure, development, and economic growth are all connected. If we want to continue attracting businesses and creating jobs, we also have to ask whether teachers, nurses, police officers, young professionals, and families can actually afford to live in the communities they help support. I also talk about why housing affordability is more complicated than simply saying rents should be cheaper, how the rising costs of land, construction, insurance, financing, and operations ultimately affect housing, and why infrastructure has to keep pace with development. I’m incredibly optimistic about Florida. But being optimistic doesn’t mean ignoring the challenges. We spent years asking how to get people and businesses to come here. It worked. Now the question is: how do we make sure they can stay?

  They Lied to You About the Office Market

  Sep 9, 20269 min

  The pandemic fundamentally changed how people work, and some office buildings were hit hard. But in South Florida, we’re seeing a very different story depending on the property, location, quality, and economics of the deal.In this video, I share how I think about office real estate and why I never want a headline to make an investment decision for me. Two office buildings can be just a few miles apart and have completely different occupancy, rents, operating costs, and investment potential.I also talk about the flight to quality happening in commercial real estate, what I look for in properties that may need repositioning, and why contrarian investing doesn’t mean automatically betting against the crowd.Whether you’re evaluating office, multifamily, or another real estate investment, the same principle applies: look at the asset, the market, the price, the debt, and the numbers before you believe the narrative.Timestamps 00:10 Why Everyone Said Office Was Dead00:56 South Florida Is Telling a Different Story01:30 Office Wasn’t Dead, Certain Office Was02:05 Why You Can’t Invest Based on Headlines03:15 The Flight to Quality in Office Real Estate04:10 Finding Opportunity in Imperfect Buildings05:15 What Contrarian Investing Really Means06:15 Why South Florida Has Changed07:10 The Mistake of Assuming Growth Will Continue07:50 A Great Building Can Be a Bad Investment08:35 Look at the Numbers, Not the NarrativeLike this episode?

  How I Know If a Multifamily Deal Is Actually Worth Buying

  Sep 2, 20265 min

  If you put a multifamily deal in front of me today, I’m not going to start with the pool, the gym, or the lobby. I want to know who lives there, what they can actually afford, what they’re paying today, what else is being built nearby, and most importantly, what I’m paying for the property. There’s a tremendous amount of multifamily development happening across Miami and South Florida. I’m a big believer in this market, but being bullish on Miami doesn’t mean every apartment deal makes sense. In this video, I talk about some of the questions I ask when evaluating a multifamily investment, from local supply and tenant affordability to rents, competition, and purchase price. Demand for housing and demand for your specific apartment at your specific rent are two very different things. A great apartment building can be a bad buy, and an imperfect apartment building can be a great buy. The difference is usually in the numbers.

  I Just Refinanced $30M in Miami | Here’s What It Taught Me

  Aug 26, 202612 min

  A few weeks ago, we closed a $30 million refinance on Park Towers, a 210-unit multifamily property in Miami that we’ve owned since 2012. We secured long-term, fixed-rate financing at 6.09% in a lending environment that many people still describe as difficult. But I think saying “banks aren’t lending” misses the bigger picture. Capital is available. The real questions are who can access it, which deals are getting financed, and whether the debt being used actually makes the investment stronger. In this video, I talk about how I approach leverage, interest rates, cash flow, refinancing risk, and margin for error when evaluating real estate investments. A great property can still become a bad investment if its capital structure can’t survive when rates rise, occupancy falls, insurance costs increase, or refinancing becomes harder. I also share my perspective on why investors shouldn’t depend on interest rates falling for a deal to work, how a more difficult financing environment can create better buying opportunities, and what more than a decade of owning and operating Park Towers has taught me about long-term value creation. The goal isn’t to predict every market cycle correctly. It’s to structure your investments so they can survive when one of your assumptions is wrong.
