From January 1, 2027 the non-school homestead exemption rises to $150,000, then $250,000 in 2028, and the annual assessment cap on rentals and commercial property falls from 10% to 5%; school taxes stay on full market value. The Tzvi LLC read: Florida resets a capped property to full market value when control or more than 50% of the entity that owns it changes hands, counted cumulatively, so a buyout, recapitalization or rescue capital round in the owning LLC can wipe out years of cap savings; track every transfer of membership interests against that line.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/deals/#2026-11-02-brookfield-cpp-lxp-closeBrookfield and CPP close their $5.2 billion take-private of LXP, and 52 million square feet of warehouses leave the stock market2026-11-02T00:00:00ZBrookfield Asset Management and CPP Investments completed their acquisition of LXP Industrial Trust on November 2, paying $61.20 a share in cash for an enterprise value of about $5.2 billion, including net debt and preferred equity. The portfolio is 107 industrial properties covering about 52 million square feet in Sunbelt and Midwest markets, and LXP's shares no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The Tzvi LLC read: Private buyers of industrial portfolios often buy entities, not just buildings, so a small warehouse owner who hopes to sell to one should keep each property in its own clean LLC; a buyer of membership interests inherits the entity's history, and many states tax and reassess a transfer of control the way they treat a sale of the deed.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/markets/#2026-11-02-florida-amendment-3-voteFlorida puts a 5% cap on rental assessments to a vote, and LLC-held property gets no homestead break2026-11-02T00:00:00ZAmendment 3 needed 60% on November 3; it would raise the non-school homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and cut the annual assessment cap on rentals and commercial property from 10% to 5%. The Tzvi LLC read: Property held in an LLC gets no homestead exemption at all, school taxes stay on full market value, and counties can raise millage to replace lost revenue, so the cap is protection, not a cut.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/deals/#2026-11-02-opportunistic-discountsOlder apartment buildings are trading at discounts of more than 30%, buyers say2026-11-02T00:00:00ZBuyers quoted by Commercial Observer put newer multifamily discounts near 20% and older vintages above 30%, with some office trades closing at 80% of their value a decade ago. LightBox's Manus Clancy expects troubled borrowers to split in thirds: take the loss, extend, or bring in rescue capital. The Tzvi LLC read: Rescue capital usually arrives as preferred equity or a capital call, and the operating agreement decides whether existing investors get diluted, crammed down or wiped out.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/lending/#2026-10-30-kbra-cmbs-octoberCMBS distress ticks up to 10.3% as more large office loans go delinquent2026-10-30T00:00:00ZKBRA counts 10.3% of its rated CMBS loans as delinquent or in special servicing, up 4 basis points from September, while 30-day delinquency eased to 7.7%, about $25.7 billion. The Tzvi LLC read: Distress is the number to watch: a loan moved to special servicing while still current is a borrower negotiating an extension, which is where most of this cycle's maturities are landing.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/rates/#2026-10-29-pce-septemberInflation by the Fed's own gauge climbs to 3.6%, and real incomes fall2026-10-29T00:00:00ZThe PCE price index rose 0.5% in September and 3.6% from a year earlier, up from 3.4% in August; core PCE reached 3.1%. Real disposable income fell 0.3% and the saving rate slipped to 3.8%.

On a $400,000 loan, this week's rate saves about $21 a month against last week and still costs about $284 a month more than a year ago. The Tzvi LLC read: A rental bought at today's rate has to work on rent alone, because a refinance that rescues the numbers is not in sight.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/rates/#2026-10-29-gdp-q3-advanceThe economy grew at a 3.4% pace in the third quarter, faster than the spring2026-10-29T00:00:00ZReal GDP rose at a 3.4% annual rate, up from 2.2% in the second quarter; the second estimate arrives November 25. The Tzvi LLC read: Strong growth plus 3.6% inflation is the mix that keeps the Fed leaning toward hikes, which is why the two October dissents matter for anyone carrying floating-rate debt.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/markets/#2026-10-28-apartment-vacancy-q3Apartment vacancy falls to 7.8%, the lowest since late 20232026-10-28T00:00:00ZApartments.com's third quarter RentPulse report put national vacancy down half a point from a year earlier as the 2023 to 2025 construction wave recedes.

The Tzvi LLC read: A slower raise means less private capital competing to lend, so bridge and rescue capital may get pricier just as the maturity wall peaks.https://tzvi.llc/wire/desk/rates/#2026-10-28-fomc-october-holdThe Fed holds at 3.75% to 4%, with two officials dissenting in favor of another hike2026-10-28T00:00:00ZThe FOMC left rates unchanged in a 10 to 2 vote; Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack wanted a quarter-point increase.

New entity formation is holding steady despite tighter credit.

Lenders blame the 2025 rule changes, including a restored 10% equity injection.
