Sarasota | Florida |The Inside Scoop on Buying a Resort Property | Types of Property

 

Types of Property

 A resort property can be a single family detached home, a multifamily with 2 or more units (adding the possibility of rental income), some form of condominium ownership (a single room or suite of rooms in a townhouse, low, mid or high rise configuration), or a manufactured home (mobile home).

Vacant land requires more research and is more speculative.

Each type of property has its own pros and cons.

Consider carefully how you will use the property. If you like to work on your home, choose a single or multi-family.

If you prefer all maintenance to be done for you, then a condominium with a monthly maintenance fee to pay a staff of groundskeepers, window washers, etc., is for you.

Deciding what you like and how you will use it should give you direction in your search.

Local building and zoning codes should be investigated. Are they restrictive or nonexistent? Does the property conform to the codes and can the property be rebuilt in event of damage, are important questions.

The Legend of Groundhog Day | February 2

 

The Legend of the Groundhog

On February 2, when the groundhog comes out of its burrow:

If it does NOT see it shadow, it leaves the burrow, meaning that winter will soon end.

If the groundhog sees its shadow, it will go back into the burrow and winter will continue for six more weeks.

Sarasota, FL – The Inside Scoop on Buying a Resort Property – Location-Location-Location

Acquiring a vacation/resort home is a major element of the American Dream.

It can provide untold benefits in enjoyment with loved ones and tremendous relief of the stresses of our everyday lives. It can also be an unused luxury and a drain on your resources if purchased totally on emotion without adequate research

The data in this series should help you get the most for your money whether it be a condo or a castle and an investment of a few thousand to a few million dollars!

Location! Location! Location!

Geographic Location

Buying in a location that is accessible (a comfortable distance easily traveled) for you is important. A property you use will give you many benefits; a property you do not use will just give you expenses.

No vacation home can give you any enjoyment if you do not use it. The longer it takes to plan a getaway and travel back and forth, the less likely it is you’ll enjoy the home

Sarasota, Florida is accessable, close to airports and major highways.

It is one of the most beautiful locations in the USA. Magnificent Beaches, Arts and Entertainment are all here in this Paradise on the Gulf Coast!
