Best Kept Real Estate Secret!
May 4, 2011
Now that you’ve survived what was arguably one of the worst winters in recent memory…what’s your plan for next year? Probably nothing, because that’s what most folks do once the crisis (snow, ice and freezing weather) do. Had I realized and digested the fact that Florida winters are an incredible escape…I would have beaten a path to what everyone down here refers to as Paradise.
And that’s just the beginning!
The real estate debacle has created the buying opportunity of a lifetime. No, I’m not a Realtor but I sure know that most Americans aren’t even vaguely aware of the bargain prices in SW Florida. I’m talking about privately gated communities that cater to the “over age 55″ crowd. The many manufactured-homes available at “bargain basement” prices has got to be one of America’s best-kept-secrets and with a little homework you could find a place for next to NOTHING! I know… because I found Two!
Now you might think that I have an ulterior motive for passing this Secret Info on to you but I’m sorry to inform you that the only smoke and mirrors are your excuses for inaction. If you don’t think that Sunny Florida is for you… that’s ok, but next winter when it’s time to drag out the Ben-Gay to sooth those aches and pains from shoveling too much YOU-KNOW-WHAT, remember that you had the chance-of-a-lifetime to enjoy Paradise “on-the-cheap”.
Just what is inexpensive, you might ask. Fair question. How about $0 (not uncommon) for “fixer-uppers” or highly motivated property owners to 10Kor less. Why so inexpensive? The reasons are varied, but few have anything to do with any dissatisfaction with their surroundings. Many of these communities were established in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The folks who bought and built back then are now approaching a time that requires differing needs due to their ages (Keep this fact in mind for a moment). The real estate debacle evolved over the past five years and these two factors collided, not to mention unemployment, and the rest is history. The excess inventory in housing has hit hard, especially in the middle-income housing market and there are far too many properties available for sale. Ergo, it’s a buyers market that is NOW, but it won’t last forever and the opportunists are acting on the moment.
Think “out-of-the-box” and explore the possibilities of change, you’ll be glad you did.
| I have worked for myself and been self supporting for almost 50 years. I have succeeded, failed and earned a living mostly while working with only a partner or by myself during this time. There have been times when I have employed others so I have a working knowledge of signing the fronts of checks as well as the backs!
I have invented things and started-up a number of businesses mostly with gratifying results. If you think that I could fill-in some specific area info for your SW Florida property search feel free to email me: Bookfunandmore@msn.com. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Robert_Ayers |
