Miami International Airport Provides the First Wait n’ Rest Luxury Sleep Rooms in North America

Would we need a little rest during layovers, before and after a flight from Miami?

Miami International Airport just leveled up its amenities with the opening of the Wait n’ Rest luxury sleep rooms! It is the first in North America and only the second location in the world.

The new space in Concourse D includes 15 private suites for one to four people. Each room has hotel‑style bedding, a touchscreen entertainment system, a private shower with fresh towels, snacks and drinks. Travelers can book the suites by the hour for up to eight hours, making them a comfortable escape from the busy terminals.

A second location in Concourse H is set to open this summer. The suites are designed for both relaxation and work, giving travelers a quiet place to rest, hold meetings, or get things done between flights.

Wait n’ Rest founder and CEO Duilio Sanguineti says today’s travelers want more than just a place to pass through—they want privacy, comfort, and personalized experiences.

MIA has been earning praise lately: Booking.com ranked it the third‑best U.S. airport for business travelers, J.D. Power named it the most‑improved mega airport in North America, Global Traveler awarded it Best Airport for Layovers, and Food & Wine listed it among the Top 10 U.S. Airports for Food and Drink.

Florida is Great for Business Startups

Florida is Great for Business Startups in 2026

We are still in the beginning of the year, plenty of time to start a new business!

Have you heard? A new study says Florida is the best state to start a business in 2026. The study points to low business costs, low corporate taxes, and a growing workforce as the main reasons.

WalletHub looked at all 50 states and compared them based on business environment, access to resources, and overall costs. That included things like how many startups there are, how fast the economy is growing, and how easy it is to get small-business loans.

Florida stood out for having the highest percentage of adults starting their own businesses and one of the highest numbers of startups per person. The state also ranked second overall for business environment, just behind Texas.

Another key factor is population growth. Florida’s working-age population is growing faster than almost every other state, helping make it an attractive place for new businesses.

Florida’s Visitors in 2025- Another Record Year

Florida set another tourism record in 2025, welcoming 143.3 million visitors! The state saw its highest-ever fourth quarter with 33.5 million visitors, and domestic travelers made up over 91% of the total. International travel also grew, with 9.3 million overseas visitors and 2.9 million Canadians.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the surge reflects Florida’s investments in infrastructure, safety, and environmental efforts, reinforcing its position as the #1 U.S. travel destination.

Welcome 2026

Welcome 2026!

In 2026, we continue to welcome property buyers and investors who wish to secure their capital while enjoying a life-long vacation, acquiring a second home and passive income, or taking the first step toward U.S. citizenship.

With our combined 40 years of experience, we are ready to find or sell your Florida property.

Passive income opportunities – properties available for short-term rental:

In 2025, we became familiar with additional properties awaiting construction as well as those already under construction, including residential towers located along the oceanfront, the bay, and downtown areas, all offering breathtaking views. These developments are located in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and on Florida’s west coast, in Sarasota or around the Tampa Bay area. The common feature of these residential towers is their flexible rental options, allowing for both short- and long-term rentals. Rentals can be managed either through on-site management companies operating within the buildings or directly by the owner via platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, or other similar services.

U.S. citizenship through investment:

There is an opportunity to obtain U.S. citizenship by investing in certain real estate projects specifically structured for this purpose. As a first step, the investor receives a green card within a relatively short period of time, allowing them, as well as their spouse and children under the age of 21, to legally work, study, and reside in the United States. The invested amount is returned upon completion of the project—after approximately five years—after which the investor becomes eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship. Currently, a specific, structurally completed real estate project is available in the Miami area.

Please review our main page.

“Neighborhoods are continuously being renewed. Starting in 2025, Miami is allocating ten billion dollars to new developments (Miami Downtown Development Authority 2024). For example, in North Beach, a seaside district, several of our owners are already vacationing in a newly built residential tower designed for short‑term rentals. In December, the groundbreaking ceremony for another similar building also took place. We are likewise looking forward to the start of construction in 2026 of a downtown project in Miami’s northern vicinity, offering a 10% leaseback program.

Miami is not just a home for celebrities! In 2023, it ranked first in the number of corporate relocations, and within the city, Brickell is considered the most important business district according to Bloomberg’s 2024 data. The list of well‑known Miami residents expanded in 2024 with Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.

In 2025, the influx continued from the financial sectors of other states—such as California and New York—including companies like Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Citadel, and Silicon Valley firms. In addition, more and more foreign consulates and leading companies in commerce, healthcare, and technology are choosing Miami as their headquarters.

The population continues to grow thanks to the high quality of life, strong economy, and favorable weather. According to the National Taxpayer Union Foundation, Florida gains one tax‑paying resident every two minutes, while California loses one every minute.

The city also offers a wealth of cultural, sports, and entertainment programs. Fun fact: in early December, the international Art Basel exhibition was held, which Sergey Brin, Google’s co‑founder and the world’s fourth‑richest person, attended by arriving on his 142‑meter yacht valued at 450 million dollars. The air‑conditioning of the docked vessel consumed as much electricity as 800 average Florida homes.

In short, real estate opportunities, unique attractions, exciting programs, and some of the world’s most beautiful beaches await both vacationers and business visitors in Florida.

See you in 2026! Be at Home in Florida!

How is it relevant for You? Why is it important?

Renting out such properties is a source of income – passive income, in addition to being your second home!

Visitors who are not staying with relatives or friends need a place to stay. In a hotel or resort, but rather in the increasingly popular, privately owned homes equipped with kitchens and laundry rooms, but operated as hotels or by a management company, AirBnB, VRBO type accommodations.

Considering the increasing number of visitors, residential buildings and private properties are being built that are approved and suitable for short-term rental in several parts of Miami, both in Downtown Miami and in coastal areas. Construction and sales are progressing quickly and at a high pace. There are constantly under construction, and some will start at the end of the year. In this type of residential building, the homes are not only delivered with floors and with a kitchen and bathroom, but also furnished, so you can move in immediately!

Please review some of these under construction residential towers on the main page!

Some offer a 10% leaseback for two years!

These properties are private, 100% owned, they can be a permanent home for you, in areas that are popular among visitors.

Not just a home ownership! Many resort-style services are also included with the homes in Florida, like in a hotel or resort, and much more! The building’s swimming pool, fitness and exercise room, lounge, restaurant, business center, concierge service, media center etc. provide relaxation, vacation – daily! To increase the luxurious lifestyle, a beach club with sunbed, umbrella, towels waiting for you, and you may order food service there, too.

Guests can also use the services, so these properties are more sought after compared to properties that can be rented without services. For the owner, a unit in a building suitable for investment can be a temporary, second home, and in his absence – a source of income. Renting out the home can be done with flexible options, without restrictions, by the owner or by a professional management company without the owner’s work, as passive income.

Pet salons and dog parks are also available in most of these buildings, and also for hotel guests in certain units where the owner allows it. So, travelers with small or medium-sized dogs also like to choose this as their temporary home, increasing the rental rate.

The residential tower called 72 Park, which was completed in the spring, is now available for rent, and there is no spending limit here either. Most of our property buyers have rented it out when they are not there, but some often use it as a second home and are not renting it out yet.

In addition, long-term rent is also needed, as thousands of residents rent their homes in America and in Florida, for at least a few months, or until they find their own home, or even for years.

PLEASE CALL and let us CALCULATE an ESTIMATED FLORIDA INCOME from RENT!

Reminder:

  • – The property owner receives a tax break.
  • – There is no state income tax in Florida.
  • – Foreigners can also take advantage of a loan here!

April 2024 Newsletter

Totality, Dallas, TX
Reaching Totality in NY State

The sky darkened midday on April 8 during the totality of the Solar eclipse from Texas to Maine. It lasted for 2-4 minutes! Other states also experienced a partial eclipse, thus 43 states of the USA had total or partial eclipse. Here in Florida did not get dark, but the Sun was memorable, and we shared our experience with our friends.

Spring break is still on in April, magnets thousands to the Sunshine States! Many traveled for the Easter holiday, too. Moreover, European clients, property buyers came for a longer visit because they had spring break there also!

How is the property purchase in Florida?

Before the clients arrive to Florida, we have several consultations over the phone to identify their plan and answer significant questions.

What to purchase? The type of property? New, under construction or resale.

When? Are you ready to purchase now? It can happen with full cash in weeks or later with loan.

Why? What is the purpose of the property? Only for own usage or rent it out, short term or more than six months?

Where? It depends on the purpose and the financials.

How? Cash or using loan.

It is different of course to see a property via online pictures than in person, in reality, with its surrounding and sizes. Smelling the air, opening the doors, touching the surface of the kitchen countertops and the dining table, where the chef of the home will provide a fantastic meal… later, after the “closing” as a new property owner.

How to reach that achievement, the closing? Only in a few steps…

1. Working with us- honestly. Learn about the possibilities here, what we offer and can provide, the way the property purchase occur in Florida.
2 Home search: The newly constructed homes usually come with flooring, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, kitchen appliances, including stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, most likely fridge, and perhaps washer and dryer also. It applies to luxurious high-rise buildings also.

3. Offer and Negotiation of the price, terms, timing.

4. Paying “earnest money deposit” to title company or attorney. Important the money directly goes to them from the buyer!

5. Also important: we recommend, it is useful to have a property inspection with expert who provides a detailed report with many-many photos of the condition of the property.

6. Busy time! The title company is completing its task, checks if the property is indeed sellable etc. Appraisal. If needed, applying for a loan if have not, requesting home insurance, and if needed finding a property management and furnishing.

7. The final home inspection or” walk-through” right before the closing. Closing is the event when the property and the money change ownership. Not a must to be present, it is a e-sign world.

Congratulation to the New Homeowner!

Let us talk about all of these in person!
