About This Episode

Julio Robaina served as Mayor of South Miami — and now he's using everything he learned in public service to protect Miami's condo owners through JA Group Florida. In this episode he breaks down the post-Surfside condo compliance situation, the new laws he helped write to hold condo associations accountable, and how JA Group steps in to help struggling buildings find affordable loans before they get condemned.

We also get into property taxes on the November ballot, how reduced property taxes would actually work, the Cuba situation, South Miami's transformation, the Miami Loop, county inspections, the future of HOAs, and why bureaucracy in Miami-Dade is costing taxpayers more than they realize. Plus his message to every condo homeowner in Miami and his top 3 restaurants.
