Investing In Florida Real Estate

To be successful in real estate investment you need to start by educating yourself. Then begin making decisions regarding location, types of investment, and what you can afford to invest. You can be a successful and profitable Florida real estate investor even if you are new to the market, but it will take time, hard work, and determination. Those television infomercials showing how people can make thousands in profits with no money down are of course not realistic, but there are many good deals out there. The entire process does take time, research, and knowledge. We recommend following these steps and really thinking realistically about your particular investment interests and skills.  Do you know how or know people who can make home repairs?  Do you know property managers or are tou willing to handle your potential tenants and maintenance? After thinking about and answering some of these questions, we are sure you will be well on your way down a successful Florida real estate investment path. 

1. Educate yourself, read books, research on the internet, talk to professionals in the business like Curri Properties.
2. Decide what type of investment property: preconstruction, commercial, pre foreclosure / short sales, or rental property.
3. Decide what location has the most potential for market appreciation. When seeking the right climate and beaches, compared to California, Florida real estate is a bargain. The southeast coast of Florida is no longer such a good deal due to the prices already being topped out, but from Jacksonville to Palm Bay, including Volusia and Brevard Counties the median family can buy the median house with 17% of their monthly gross income.  Florida population keeps increasing with more retirement, more tourism, and more businesses relocating.
4. Hire the right real estate brokerage, one with a successful established tract record like Curri Properties.  They should have connections to other industry professionals, and be able to negotiate and leverage to maximize profits.
5. Determine what financing you are qualified to receive and what your initial investment will be.

Ways to make money in real estate:

1. Buy fix and resell, requires home repair skills or hiring of contractors.
2. Search and find where buyers are selling fast for reasons like divorce, relocating for employment, estate sales, etc.
3. Research locations where new major roadways have recently been built, new businesses, corporate offices or branches are relocating (Brevard County).
4. Buy preconstruction properties.
5. Buy rental properties, research property managers.
6. Buy foreclosures / short sales, talk to Curri Properties about requirements and safeguards.
