Florida may be paradise, but buying a home here can be a legal minefield. In this episode, Chris Cusimano breaks down the “as-is” contract that dominates the Florida housing market—and uncovers how small mistakes can quietly kill deals or cost you thousands.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or real estate pro, you’ll learn how to:

• Use the inspection period loophole to your advantage
• Avoid the invisible fuse of missed acceptance dates
• Navigate escalation clauses and kickout clauses like a pro
• Protect yourself from surprise expenses like missing appliances
• Close with confidence by handling permits and title negotiations right

Don't get burned by the fine print. This episode is your behind-the-scenes guide to mastering Florida real estate contracts.
