CAM Matters with Betsy Barbieux

Betsy Barbieux recently attended a Community Association Managers event where one of the speakers said there aren’t any co-ops in Florida. Actually, there are nearly 8,000 housing cooperatives – mostly mobile home parks -- in the state, and while there are some similarities with condominium and homeowner associations, there are also some very distinct differences. In this episode, Betsy and Suzanne Lynn explain what a co-op is and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of living in one.   FLORIDA CAM SCHOOLS – BETSY BARBIEUX, CAM, CFCAM, CMCA – CAM MATTERS Florida CAM Schools, LLC Condos, Coops, HOAs and Beyond!
