On July 1, 2010, The new changes to for Florida Statute 718 , the condominium act in florida will change some of the rules of the game that will help the excess inventory but it seems that it will be a great addition. The changes to the statute will eventually help the lower priced condominiums. Investors shy away from the condominium projects with proportionately expensive maintenance fees because those owners that are paying their share usually end up paying the deficiencies that many have left as they let their investments or speculations go.
