Changing Florida Tax Rules Impact Real Estate Investors

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/26

Today we are talking about a piece of legislation in Florida that, if it ultimately becomes law, could reshape how property taxes are calculated across the state for decades to come. It is House Joint Resolution 203, often referred to as HJR 203, and it has just passed the Florida House. Now, first, a reminder, a joint resolution like this is not a typical statute change. It proposes a constitutional amendment. In Florida, that means voters ultimately decide, and it generally requires a 60 percent

2026/02/26

I’m coming to you live from Sonoma California where I’ve been attending a small business mastermind event. Today we are talking about something that, on the surface, looks like agriculture and tourism, but underneath is a case study in economic gravity. This is the result of direct observation and conversation with people who are local to the market. Northern California wine country, Napa and Sonoma in particular, has an aura of permanence. Rolling hills, tasting rooms, hospitality, luxury brands,

The New Factory Is Coming To Town

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/24

On today’s show we are talking about the biggest obstacle to manufacturing in the US. When I was deeply involved in the tech industry as a microprocessor design engineer, there was a culture. It’s a culture that has turned out to be unhealthy and is one of the core reasons why we don’t have manufacturing in North America. There will continue to be announcements of new data centres, of manufacturing, and perhaps other major investments. The success of those initiatives is not about tariffs, or the

Today we’re talking about a phenomenon that’s showing up in land markets across North America, especially in regions being marketed as “next wave” data center corridors.There is real data center demand. No question. But there’s also a growing layer of speculative behavior that is creating noise, inflating expectations, and in some cases putting landowners at risk.Here’s what’s happening.A group of land speculators, often with no backing from an actual data center owner or operator, are putting large

Old Tankers Will Impact The World Economy

2026/02/20

You’ve heard me say it numerous times. Energy is the economy. If you don’t believe me, just look at Cuba. The country is being starved for oil and the country is unable to function. At first it was just the United States imposing sanctions on countries that it sees as violating international law. That includes Russia, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, and certainly a few others. But those sanctions have been largely paper exercises involving money and financial instruments. It’s only when a physical

It's Hard To Compete With Free

I asked an AI tool to write a program for me from scratch. Let me be clear, I’ve never written a software program for MacOS. I have not read any of the documentation on where to start or how to do it. I asked Claude to create a game of tic-tac-toe. The AI tool did the entire job in less than 15 minutes. I now have a functioning game of tic-tac-toe on my computer. It cost only a few pennies to create it, far less than the $2-5 that it originally estimated. The true power of the process is that I got

What Happened To Home Sales?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/17

Mainstream headlines are saying, “home sales have slowed.” And on the surface, that’s true. January’s existing-home sales number came in down 8.4% from December, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of about 3.91 million units, according to the National Association of Realtors. But here’s the question I want to explore today. Did demand actually slow, or did unusually cold January weather interfere with the mechanics of completing transactions in a way that makes the data look worse than the

How You Design Your Organization

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/16

There’s an article in the most recent issue of the Harvard Business Review making the rounds arguing that organizations are doing too many transformations, too often, and that constant change is damaging. The authors point to change fatigue, shaken confidence from customers and investors, and leadership teams spending more time “doing transformation” than building products, serving customers, and creating value. They even recommend getting off what they call the “transformation treadmill,” and

Europe's AI Act and Real Estate

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/13

This is a real estate podcast. But there is no part of the modern world that is insulated from advances in AI, as well as the negative consequences of AI. Today we’re talking about the EU AI Act, and what it can mean for real estate investors who own property in Europe, especially if you use “smart” building tech like security cameras, access control, tenant screening, or building automation. I’ve long held the opinion that European legislation can often serve as a canary in the coal mine for what

Can Fewer Stair Save Your Project?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/13

California AB 835 was signed into law in October 2023 and it directs the State Fire Marshal to research and develop recommendations for building standards that would allow “single stair” multifamily buildings above three stories, then report back to the legislature and the California Building Standards Commission. So this is not yet a statewide code change that suddenly makes single stair buildings legal everywhere tomorrow. It is a state-driven pathway to rewrite a very specific rule that has

What Employment Numbers Are Signaling.

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/02/10

We regularly look at macro economic data to forecast interest rates. Interest rates affect one of the three main variable associated with any project. Those three variables are construction costs, capital costs and rent. Everything else is a rounding error by comparison. We are expecting new payroll data from the bureau of labor and statistics later this week. However, those numbers are full of approximations and adjustments. To me, the most reliable data actually comes from private enterprise which

How Japan Is Like Silicon Valley Bank

Today we’re going to connect two stories that, on the surface, look very different.

These events rhyme because the underlying physics is the same. Duration risk plus leverage plus flighty funding can
