Why Florida Condos Keep Killing Deals

Updated: Oct 14

Florida condos are changing and so are the rules to finance them. Condos aren't like single-family homes. One hidden issue with the building, not the buyer, can tank your deal.
That's especially true in Florida where post-Surfside laws now require milestone inspections, reserve studies, and stricter condo budgets.
More buildings = more rules = more chances for financing to fall apart.
The biggest deal-killers?
Deferred maintenance or unfunded repairs
Low reserves or high delinquencies
Insurance shortfalls
Condo hotel (condotel) features or nightly rentals
Here's the real hack: The deal doesn't have to die. We just need to spot the red flags before the offer goes in.
That's why I've built a simple Condo Financing Checklist + Pre-Screen Process just for agents.
It helps you:
Catch warrantability issues early
Navigate non-warrantable options with clarity
Protect your timeline and your buyer
Don't lose the deal because of the building.
Let me help you quarterback the financing.
