Peck Plaza Condominium is one of the buildings that were severely damaged by hurricane Matthew in October 2016.The Hurricane and ensued lengthy restoration project has displaced owners and tenants in 100 units in the area tallest 343-foot building. It also severely damaged Top of Daytona, the well-known top-floor restaurant, and bar.Displaced owners are still paying our mortgages. And large assessments are coming.The building was closed for a $10 million restoration project. A sizable part of it would be insurance money, and sizable part – Special Assessment. It is still not finished, and it would probably take a few more months. They should have been done by now, but Hurricane Irma blew out 9 windows, and 11 sliding doors, plus caused some water damage.

We do remodeling and finding trades is always an issue. Easier with high-end remodeling. We would turn to Sita Construction, and you can’t dream of a better GC than Rick Sita or his son Enrico, who is also a G.C. But when we deal with very inexpensive condos, we have to be very careful not to come out too costly and make the condo impossible to sell.We used to hire excellent tile guys, but then they would start growing, hiring help, and soon taking on bigger projects. The guys no longer laying tile themselves, so the quality is suffering.Lately, we noticed that our guy, who worked on a few on our condos was no longer laying tiles. He had young guys, and they were not great at that at all. It started hurting us. They were all smiles but were cutting corners here and there, and it was tro... 07/15/2018

Daytona Condo FinancingEven though we very rarely deal with mortgages, and this is the nature of a resort market, where buyers usually purchase condos as vacation homes and pay cash, time from time we end up working with a buyer, who needs financing.It usually starts with “I have good credit, and my bank told me that there would be no problem to finance a condo”.We have to tell them that while they may have perfect credit, it is only half of what they need. They also need the condo they like to qualify for a mortgage, and their score, no matter how great it is, can’t help it.I don’t really want to get into the nitty-gritty of financing condos in Florida, but here are some general points when we discuss condo financing. There are conventional loans, and there are FHA insured loans (VA, t... 06/19/2018

The weekend was marked by the Truck event. First event took place in 2014. Last year people were outraged and there were a lot of complaints, so everybody was saying that there would be no more truck events.Well, they were wrong. What's the problem with the trucks (and about 15,000 guests) in town? Daytona knows much bigger events, and locals are mostly fine with that. There is a keen understanding that events are bread and butter of local economy. Even the Jeep event with more jeeps in town does not cause bad feeling, but these monstrous trucks do.The weekend turned difficult for the beachside. Traffic was unusually heavy. And on a narrow barrier island, there is not easy to circumvent the traffic.The problem was not only the trucks, it was compounded by proms at the Ocean Center. Ther... 06/03/2018

We have completed yet another remodel. Actually, more than just remodel. We completely redesigned this 2 bedroom/2 baths direct riverfront unit in Pendleton Club, Daytona Beach.I think we have special feelings about this place, where we spent 2 years in 2003-2004 and lived through 4 major hurricanes of 2004 and yet were among very few properties that had not lost power. We did not own the unit, we were renting it from our friends. They bought it with our help, and we were their first tenants.While living there, we had often fantasized about what could be done to make this unit a standout. When we moved to our own condo in Ponce Inlet, the unit was rented until recently. Our friends decided to sell it, and we put it on the market.The unit was in bad shape, the market was and still is som... 05/27/2018
