  Title: Episode 141, Phase 1 NYC Pied A Terre Tax for Condos

  Sep 18, 202617 min

  Today we're discussing NYC's newly implemented pied-à-terre tax on condominiums only. We discussed co-ops last week, so they are the second-most-common inventory for NYC real estate buyers & owners. The tax affects about 17,500 co-ops and condos that clear the city’s $1 million official-value line. Only about one-third to one-half of those are real second homes after you pull out people who actually live there. Call it maybe 6,000 to 8,500 apartments. A tiny slice of the city, but important information to know for buyers & owners of NYC. Thank you, as always, for listening, and we will be sure to send more updates as they come!

  Title: Episode 140, NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax for Co-ops

  Sep 4, 202623 min

  We're back on today's topic: the NYC Pied-à-terre tax, focusing purely on co-ops. The mathematics for co-ops is tricky & most definitely not what you think, or perhaps what the CITY thinks!

  Episode 139: Reese Chase, Compass South Florida. Boating Life Style, Florida Land, Representing Investors & The Housing Market

  Aug 7, 202631 min

  Today on the show we’re joined by Reese Chase, Real Estate Advisor with Compass in South Florida. Reese didn’t come up the traditional way. He got his start renovating investment properties—tearing into the bones of homes, figuring out what actually creates value, and learning firsthand what makes a property sell. That hands-on construction background still shapes how he works with clients today, whether he’s helping sellers maximize equity before listing or guiding buyers through both the purchase and potential rehab. Now based in the Broward County market, Reese brings deep local knowledge from Plantation to the coast, with a particular strength in investment properties, rehabs, and larger estate and acreage deals. He’s closed over $50 million in career sales and is known for combining that renovator’s eye with strong negotiation and a no-nonsense, service-first approach. When he’s not working deals, you’ll usually find him on the water—fishing both the east and west coasts of Florida. For Reese, boating and fishing aren’t just hobbies; they’re how he stays connected to the South Florida lifestyle he helps his clients live every day. We’re excited to dig into his path, the South Florida market, and what he’s seeing right now. Follow him on Instagram at reesechase.re

  Episode 137: NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax Just Dropped: Who Actually Gets Hit? + Tax Hikes Then vs Now

  May 29, 202639 min

  It’s officially the start of the summer season — and in true solo pod fashion, we’re kicking it off with a timely breakdown of the brand new NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax that just got enacted. In this episode, I walk through exactly how the new surcharge works (Phase 1 vs. Phase 2), why the crazy-low DOF market value on high-end condos actually shields many owners from the tax in both phases, and what the switch to comparable sales in 2028 could mean in the long term. Then we zoom out: the never-ending “tax the rich” playbook in NYC and beyond. I compare the actual tax landscape of 2021–2026 (post-COVID, Inflation Reduction Act, state cuts vs targeted hikes) against 2005–2010 (recession-era increases) at the federal, state, and major city levels. Property taxes, mansion taxes, transfer taxes, income surtaxes — who’s really raising what, and how much? Follow me for more: LinkedIn X Instagram YouTube
