The Miami market, in real figures

We publish the numbers. What a dollar buys today, what it costs to hold, and how the structure should be set up before you sign.

Price per square foot is the least informative number on the listing. These are the four documents that actually tell you what you are buying into.

No visa, no green card, no U.S. credit file. The real sequence: LLC, bank account, mortgage and a closing you sign from home.

Liability, privacy, succession and cost. The four criteria that decide it, and the case where an LLC is not worth having.

The same budget buys different lives in Brickell, Coral Gables, Edgewater and the Grove. What changes is not only the square footage.

Property tax, condominium dues, insurance, management and LLC upkeep. The honest annual budget, built before you buy.

Numbers are easier to read with someone who knows the building
