Real Estate Attorney Needed for Carve-Out
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I need a sharp real estate attorney with proven experience drafting BOTH condominium declarations AND long-term ground leases (99-year). FL Bar admission preferred but NOT required — if you're elsewhere, you must be willing to associate FL local counsel for the formal signing/recording portions and the title-underwriter opinion letters (a small share of the total work). Situation: 5-acre Lake County mixed-use parcel (1-acre residential primary residence + 4-acre commercial nursery) with an existing SBA 7(a) mortgage. County won't approve a lot split. I need to carve out the residential portion legally without governmental subdivision, then finance it with a new mortgage. Two structural options under evaluation: - Two-unit mixed-use condominium under FL Ch. 718 (separate folios under §§718.120 / 193.0237(5), with mortgagee joinder by senior lienholder) - 99-year ground lease + leasehold mortgage (recorded under §695.01, homestead via §196.041) Required experience — must demonstrate prior work on BOTH: - A condominium declaration drafted and recorded (FL Ch. 718 preferred; equivalent another-state condo act acceptable if combined with FL deal experience) A long-term ground lease with leasehold mortgage you brought to closing Scope: (1) Written feasibility memo analyzing both paths against ~10 specific gating issues I'll provide; (2) Drafting operative instruments for the path I select. Please provide your estimated total cost for this job, in either hourly or flat fee form.
