Suzanne Hollander, a professor, real estate lawyer and real estate broker in South Florida who has taught courses at IBMEC in São Paulo, explained the situation to Brasil de Fato.
"High rates are making homeowners not want to sell and move," says Suzanne. "This phenomenon is called 'golden handcuffs.' It's like they have their hands cuffed. They can't or don't want to sell, because even if they sell at a high price, and if they buy, they will buy the new property at a high price and the interest will be higher than what they had access to years ago."
Buying a home at auction can yield a great bargain — if you do your homework and can withstand the risks. “You need to know how to research the title [and] make sure you are buying a first position lien, not a second position lien that could be wiped out,” Suzanne Hollander, an attorney and real estate professor at Florida International University in Miami. says. “Understand your obligations to pay cash and when, and realize there are many risks involved.”
Professor Suzanne Hollander and Ronald McDonald House Executive Director Soraya Rivera Moya explain the unique public-private financing structure of the new project: “Jackson Memorial is a public hospital, and the location for the new building is leased to RMHC by Miami-Dade County for the mere cost of $1 per year for a duration of fifty years. The $25 million will be raised through local fundraising initiatives and new market tax credit funds, which are forgivable loans granted by the federal government.”
Hollander points out that “in Miami, a city with a booming real estate market full of luxury condos and hotels, the Ronald McDonald House development project really stands as unique three reasons, it is (1) a multi-million-dollar woman led development project; (2) for a charitable purpose to help families in need with sick children and (3) being built on government owned land.”
”Professor Hollander highlighted to Commissioner Covo that the City of Miami owns a real estate portfolio that ballooned in value to over an estimated over $17 Billion USD. The largest percentage of the value of City owned properties is located in District 2, many on long term leases (50–99 years)…From the LOFT 2 rooftop she pointed out to the various City assets and noted: “It is important to remember the City has a duty to act as a steward and fiduciary to operate these City owned assets professionally by best-in-class real estate standards to preserve their value and physical structure for generations to come.”
