Hold on to your horses, I'm Bloggin'!

Dear Clients, Friends and Family,

Richards Law Firm is embarking on a new journey into social media. Any of you that know me will get a kick out of this little endeavor since I am the least techie person on the face of the planet.

I suppose my first post should be about why I am going through the hassle. So here it goes.

I became a TN attorney in 2006, married a Florida boy in 2008 and was licensed in Florida in 2009. Once I married a real estate investor I saw my practice make a 180 degree shift from consumer protection to real estate law in what seemed like an overnight span of time. Additionally, the turn was more specifically towards real estate investing.

Technically, there is no distinction between the practice of real estate law and real estate investing law nor is it designated by the Florida Bar as an area in which an attorney can call themselves an "expert", but anyone that works with investors knows that it should be. I am amazed, intrigued and, yes, sometimes dumbfounded by the questions and scenarios presented to  me throughout the work week. Say what you will about investors, wholesalers, private money lenders and the like; the fact is they are an intelligent and savvy bunch of folks. This blog will address some of their common questions, clear up misconceptions and ease the minds of my clients on things I hear and see everyday.

While I  do work with a lot of investors, I also help everyday Jack and Jane's with their real estate dilemmas and I hope everyone will find a little something useful or at the very least entertaining.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy the topics and welcome suggestions for new ones.

Example of how House Bill 631 will help Buy and Hold Investors

The Florida Legislature Strengthens Laws to Remove Unwanted Parties from Your Property  The governor signed House Bill 631 into law on March 8, 2018, to update Florida law on ejectment, unlawful detainer, and customary use.   So what does this mean? First, let’s suppose the company owning the building next to yours puts up a fence ten feet over your property line, claiming to have a recorded deed to a strip of your land.  You think the deed is bogus.  To get rid of the fence you would likely file an “ejectment” action.  “Ejectment” is a kind of eviction action in which the party in possession claims a right to be there under a written instrument in its chain of title (usually a deed, easement, or other serious title instrument).  An ejectment action gives you the chance to prove your superior title to the property (after which you would  eject  the neighbor’s fence). Case closed.  The amendments to the Bill modernize the statute to ...

A Blog Series On Land Trusts: Intro

I firmly believe Land Trusts are one of the most misunderstood real estate investment tools nationwide. My plan it to make this a series of posts that will touch on what a land trust is and what it is not, clear up myths and misconceptions and pass along some tips and tricks. It will be basic, but if you understand the basics you can then start to get really specific and use them to cater to your particular investment portfolio.  I haven’t decided how many parts will be in the series so my plan is to just take one topic at a time and see where it leads. First, my back ground with these creatures: If I had to pick something that was “my thing” it would probably be Land Trusts. Never would I have  imagined when I graduated law school this would be the case, but about 6 years ago Debbie Farnell of Southeast Professional Title handed me Mark Warda’s book on the subject and my gears have been turning ever since. In those 6 years or so I have drafted hundreds of land tru...

Must Read For Florida Foreclosure Auction Investors

As promised, here are the cliff notes for a recent 4 th District Court of Appeals case that interpreted the Lis Pendens statute and how it applied to a foreclosure case. Warning: its super boring, dry, legal talk, but if you purchase foreclosure properties it is a MUST READ. The basic timeline for the facts of this case are as follows: -         Bank filed a Lis Pendens (LP)  against a property they were foreclosing. -      .  Sometime around September 2008 the bank obtained a final judgment -        Beginning in July of 2009 – October 2011 the Town recorded 7 liens against the property for various code violations. -        The house sold at auction in 2012. -         In 2013, James Ober, the winning bidder at foreclosure auction filed suit to quiet title, attempting to strike the Town liens against his property. The case trudged t...
