Co-Living to Fix the Affordability Problem - Seriously ? Solution at the Bottom. Why don’t we build Prof Dorms or as they did in the 1950’s, 60’s & 70’s, bring back the Boarding House concept. The ugly truth is that workforce housing demands cannot be met. Florida alone has a 600,000 unit workforce housing deficit. Only 100k homes short of the new home construction starts annually, NATIONWIDE. There has been a few developers that have taken the charge to build institutional MF Co-Living. We had a big project in downtown Miami, I haven’t followed it to determine its success years later. SOLUTION to consider: Build homes on BLM land & subsidize home builders with no impact fees and no taxes on labor and materials. Land is a significant cost of the total home price, upwards of 25%. Take all the BLM land - Gov’t land - and build cities, attract industry and cooperative farming to feed the masses too. Replace property taxes with a consumer tax.

Most people don’t realize this, but in B.C., not every builder needs to be licensed. And that can create some serious risks for homeowners. I’ve seen it happen: a renovation or new build that starts out looking like a great deal ends up costing thousands more in rework, stress, and uncertainty. Here’s why hiring a licensed builder matters: ✅ Accountability. Licensed builders are regulated by BC Housing. They must prove their experience, follow ethical standards, and renew their education every year. ✅ Warranty protection. Licensed builders provide the 2-5-10 Home Warranty — two years on labour and materials, five on the building envelope, and ten on structural components. ✅ Oversight. Every project is built under standards that protect homeowners long after the final walkthrough. An unlicensed builder may look like a cost-saver, but those “savings” often come from skipping permits, avoiding inspections, or using a licensed name on paper without actual involvement — a shortcut that leaves homeowners exposed. If you’re planning a renovation or new build, here’s one simple way to protect yourself: 👉 Visit BC Housing’s Licensed Residential Builder Registry and search the builder’s name. https://lnkd.in/dmVFjArN If they’re not listed, they’re not licensed. Building or renovating your home should be exciting — not risky. If you ever want to talk about what licensing really means for your project, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned. #licensedbuilder #homebuilding #customhomes #vancouverbuilder #homeconstruction #renovationtips

Before jumping at incentives like drastically reduced prices or extremely low rates, it's wise to consider the full picture. It's important to critically assess the situation and the people involved in new construction purchases. Many post-closing issues arise, and buyers often find themselves needing to consult directly with the builder to resolve these problems. Consider affordability but also be aware of potential pitfalls. #homebuying #newconstruction #realestate #criticalthinking

Why You Need a Realtor for New Construction 🏡 Even when buying directly from the builder, having your own agent can make a huge difference. Here’s why 👇 1️⃣ Representation that’s 100% for YOU — The builder’s agent works for the builder. I work for you — protecting your best interests, not their bottom line. 2️⃣ Negotiation Power — Builders won’t lower prices publicly, but your agent can often negotiate closing cost credits, upgrades, or better terms behind the scenes. 3️⃣ Inspections & Construction Oversight — From foundation to final walk-through, I’m here to catch issues early — not after closing. 4️⃣ Guidance Through Contracts — Builder contracts are written to protect them, not you. I help make sure you understand every clause and timeline. 5️⃣ It Costs You Nothing — My commission is paid by the builder, not you. There’s literally no downside to having representation. 💬 Thinking about new construction in SWFL?
