Fall for the neighborhood. I’ll read the building.
Six neighborhoods, one letter each: how the place feels on an ordinary day, the one thing to check before you commit, and one number with its source and its month.
The letter
How the place feels on an ordinary day.
The trade-off
The one thing to check before you commit.
The P.S.
One number, with its source and its month.
Emotion opens the conversation. Due diligence closes it.
Dear Aventura,
Sunrise on the water, errands five minutes away.
Read the letter →Dear Brickell,
Coffee, a walk to lunch, dinner without a car.
Read the letter →Dear Sunny Isles Beach,
An ocean view from a high floor, and a quiet beach.
Arrives Monday, October 26Dear Hallandale Beach,
The same coast, more choice of building age and style.
Arrives Monday, November 2Dear Downtown,
The bay, the museums and the train, a few blocks apart.
Arrives Monday, November 9Dear Miami Beach,
Barefoot on the sand before breakfast.

The reserve study
What the roof, structure and systems will need, and how much has been saved.
The milestone inspection
Whether it is done, what it found, and whether repairs are finished.
The budget
Where the monthly fee goes, and how much goes into reserves.
The insurance
What the master policy covers, its deductible, and how it changed.
I trained as a mechanical and maintenance engineer, so I like a system. I came to Miami to manage a portfolio of properties, and I’ve read buildings ever since.
Today I write a love letter to one neighborhood every Monday, and publish its numbers every Wednesday, from Avanti Way Realty East Miami.
