Why Winning $180K in Tennis Might Leave You Broke

On paper, $180,000 in six months sounds like a dream come true. But for a pro tennis player ranked outside the top 100, it might barely cover your avocado-free Chipotle and your coach’s motel room. 🥑🚫
In this episode of ALL IN Miami, we unpack the brutal, behind-the-scenes economics of life on the tennis tour. Inspired by the honest words of Taro Daniel and stories from other journeymen, we dig into why so many talented players are living on a razor-thin financial edge.
You’ll hear:
Why prize money is NOT what it seems (hint: hello, taxes and commissions)
What it really costs to play just one tournament week
How traveling like a “small company” makes breaking even a win
The emotional weight of chasing greatness… while watching your credit card melt
This one’s for the dreamers, the grinders, and anyone who's ever wondered what success really costs when you're chasing it with everything you've got.

Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!

Mortgage Rates Aren’t Dropping—So Builders Are Getting Creative

Why America’s Builders Are Playing the Long Game—And What It Means for You
While most homebuilders are cautiously guarding their profits, Lennar—the second-largest builder in the U.S.—is flipping the script. They're going all in on volume over margin, especially across the red-hot (but softening) Sun Belt.
 
In this episode, we unpack Lennar’s bold move to maintain market momentum by:
🏠 Offering major incentives—like mortgage rate buy-downs—to boost affordability
💸 Cutting average sales prices by nearly 9%
📊 Spending a record 13.3% of the final price on incentives
🔄 Choosing long-term market share over short-term profit gains
Why does this matter? Because it changes everything for buyers, sellers, and competing builders.
 
We talk about:
What this signals for the broader housing market
How this could shape prices and inventory going into 2025
Why builders are no longer betting on lower mortgage rates
And how buyers can take advantage of this unusual moment
Whether you’re an agent, investor, buyer, or just love watching real estate evolve in real time, this is a masterclass in strategy, risk, and market movement.

Are Millions of Americans Underwater on Their Homes?
 
Homeownership is supposed to be the dream—but what if your biggest asset becomes a liability?

🏠 How this impacts people selling, refinancing, or just hoping to breathe

The Private Credit Takeover: How South Florida Real Estate Really Gets Funded

South Florida’s skyline keeps rising—but it’s not banks holding the ladder anymore.
In this episode of ALL IN Miami, I’m diving deep into the real estate financing shakeup that’s changing the game. Developers aren’t turning to banks like they used to. Why? Because in this high-interest, post-pandemic world, banks are cautious, slow, and regulatory-handcuffed.
Enter private credit.
From global giants like Apollo and Blackstone to boutique debt funds and alternative financiers, private lenders are now fueling South Florida’s biggest projects—offering bigger loans, faster decisions, and a lot more flexibility. Sounds dreamy, right? Well... it’s not without risk.
I’ll break down:
Why traditional banks are pulling back
What private lenders are offering instead (hint: it’s not just cash)
Real examples like Waldorf Astoria, Shell Bay, and the mega-loans behind them
The fine print borrowers need to know
If you want to understand what’s really powering Miami’s real estate boom—and why private credit isn’t going anywhere—this is your episode.

6 Coconut Grove Residents You Didn’t Know Were Your Neighbors

You know Coconut Grove for its mango trees, sailboats, and the occasional peacock crossing the street like he owns the place—but do you know who actually lives here?
In this episode of ALL IN Miami, I’m bringing you six fictional—but totally believable—household profiles based on real data and daily life in Coconut Grove. We’ve got:
A couple raising teens who traded L.A. traffic for Biscayne Bay sunsets,
A multigenerational family keeping Bahamian roots alive in the West Grove,
A solo entrepreneur with a balcony garden and a rescue pup,
And yes… a couple living on a sailboat with a parrot named Captain.
It’s part neighborhood tour, part love letter to the Grove, and a full-on reminder that behind every gate, garden, and houseboat is a story you didn’t expect.
