FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LAWS, PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES, 2ND EDITION eBook

This comprehensive manual is designed to support students in mastering the knowledge and skills required for success in passing the Florida Real Estate Laws, Principles and Practices, 2^nd Edition course.

Many students find Florida real estate challenging—not because of a lack of motivation, but because the material is detailed, law-focused, and often very different from everyday experience.

This engaging, text-based eBook serves as a complete companion to the OnLine Training 63-hour Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Pre-Licensing Course. Organized unit-by-unit to mirror the online course, it guides students from the fundamentals of the real estate business through license law, agency relationships, contracts, finance, calculations, and real-world applications—all presented with clear explanations and practical examples.

Each unit begins with learning objectives and key terms to set clear expectations, followed by concise lessons that break down complex topics such as FREC rules, brokerage procedures, fair housing, landlord-tenant law, environmental issues, and taxation into straightforward, understandable language.

Designed for structured review and long-term retention—not just one-time reading—the eBook includes “Unit Important Points” and “Unit Summary” sections that highlight critical rules, definitions, and math formulas. These focused reviews help students concentrate on essential concepts without becoming overwhelmed by details.

Key topics—including property rights, estates and tenancies, condominiums and HOAs, title and deeds, legal descriptions, mortgages, financing programs (FHA, VA, conventional), real estate computations, appraisal, investments, zoning, and environmental hazards—are presented step-by-step to build confidence and practical understanding.

Paired with OLT’s DBPR-approved, fully online course, this book provides Florida sales associate candidates with a clear, organized pathway from their first lesson through a strong foundation in real estate knowledge and professional readiness. This book can also assist you in preparing for the course exam as well as for the State exam.
