Do I need a land use attorney to fight a rejected floodplain redevelopment exemption?
We own a empty lot in East Austin that sits in the AO floodplain, and our builder wasn't able to get a permit to move forward. The city rejected the redevelopment exemption we already submitted, and the builder said thats outside what they can help with. Looking for recomendations on lawyers who've delt with the City of Austin on floodplain cases specifically.

Need to buy a home before selling mine in South Florida, bridge loan or buy-before-you-sell loan?
Transferring to Palm Beach Gardens, start date is Sept 8 and it's non-negotiable. We own in Coral Springs, worth about $540k, owe $260k. Found a house in PBG at $760k but there's no way we sell and close on both before the deadline, and a sale contingency is dead on arrival with this seller.nnLender pitched a buy-before-you-sell loan at 2%, around $15k , with a guaranteed backup purchase of the Coral Springs house if it doesn't sell. Sounds almost too good. Is that backup a real safety net or a lowball you'd never take?nnAlso, for buying before selling in South Florida on a hard deadline, is a bridge loan or a HELOC actually cheaper than paying that 2%? And how do I keep the buyer's side from sniffing out my timeline and squeezing me?nnAppreciate any honest takes.
