Miami is full of stunning homes… but not every house is worth your hard-earned money. In fact, some properties are ticking time bombs for your wallet and your sanity.
In this episode of the ALL IN Miami Podcast, I’m breaking down the five types of homes you should avoid buying in South Florida — even if they look perfect on the surface.
Here’s what we cover:
Flipped homes: Why that shiny renovation might be hiding unpermitted work and big structural problems.
Busy street properties: The resale headaches (and daily noise) that never go away.
Flood zone homes: Rising insurance premiums and the risk of being uninsurable.
Big, old, awkward homes: When “character” really means “constant maintenance.”
The most expensive home in the neighborhood: Why your “wow factor” could kill future appreciation.
These aren’t just red flags—they’re deal breakers that could impact your lifestyle, your finances, and your peace of mind. And if you’re buying in Miami, trust me, these lessons matter more than ever.
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
