I was delighted to contribute to our latest edition (hopefully not unlucky number 13!) of the Bevan Brittan LLP Housing Finance Snapshot and share some reflections on issues I am seeing housing providers grapple with currently in relation to service charges and cost management. I'm happy to discuss the themes I talk about with any RPs facing similar issues. Great job Katie Dyer for putting this together. #housing #housingmanagement #servicecharges #leaseholdmanagement #propertylaw

Fact: The chances that the suburb you grew up in is the best place for you to invest, is EXTREMELY low. That’s why buying in your own backyard is one of the BIGGEST mistakes we’ve seen some property investors make. While family members or relatives may have seen growth in the suburbs where you were raised, this may not necessarily be the case for you. In Australia, there are over 15,000 suburbs to choose from, so it’s best to do your research thoroughly.

The passage of the Housing Trust Fund in New Orleans marks a historic victory, with voters demanding that their leaders prioritize affordable housing by dedicating 2% of the city’s budget to this critical issue. While there is still work ahead to address challenges like rising insurance costs and a damaged housing stock, this new funding gives New Orleans the resources to act independently and ensure a stronger, more stable future for its communities. #BizNewOrleans https://lnkd.in/gdDzG8nU

More questions raised by the new PCDA. The newly revised New York State Property Condition Disclosure Act takes effect on March 20, 2024. In addition to raising more questions for sellers to answer, it raises even more questions for the real estate industry as a whole. #realestatelaw #realestateattorney #realestateexpert #nyrealestate #commercialrealestate #commerciallawyer #commerciallaw

This week’s #OpportunityZone Outlook: Capital Square announced the launch of its ninth Opportunity Zone Fund. The fund aims to raise $77 million in equity to develop a mixed-used apartment community and luxury hotel in Scott’s Addition. Importantly, in the first Presidential debate, Opportunity Zones took center stage when President Trump highlighted the success of the OZ tax incentive as ‘one of the most successful economic development acts ever in our country’ and giving credit to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). Lastly, Lincoln Avenue Communities celebrated the groundbreaking of the largest ground-up affordable housing project to be developed in Wisconsin. Located in a Madison Opportunity Zone, OZ fund equity is helping to finance the highly-anticipated development.
