Buying Central Florida Real Estate | Realtor in Central Florida | Homes for Sale in Central Florida

When buying a home, the first thing you should consider is whether or not you will need to obtain a mortgage.  If you do, you should at least get pre-qualified in advance - and we can show you how | Contact Us |. This way you know the price range of the property you can afford, and you can present a stronger offer to a Seller as having been pre-qualified.   Next, you should consider the area in which you want to buy.  Some things to keep in mind would be job locations, shopping, conveniences, schools and the kind of activities available that you enjoy doing.  Last, but not least, think about what kind of home you would like to own – how many bedrooms to you need, how many bathrooms do you need,  is a garage important, is a yard important – gated community or not.  Assume you will not find a home that meets every single criterion you list – so prioritize your list.  Put the things most important at the top and work your way down.  Considering all of these things in advance makes your search more objective and focused and allows you to concentrate on properties that would truly fit your needs at a price that works for you.  We would love the opportunity to help, please contact us.

Investors Should Consider Other Things...

Investors should consider the type of property – home, condo, office space, industrial or retail space they might want to invest in. Capitalization rates, equity dividend rates, gross rent and income multipliers should all be used where appropriate in making the investment decision.  Gross rents should be estimated taking into account vacancy rates and then the variable and fixed expenses should be deducted to see what kind of return can be obtained on a cash-on-cash basis.  Appreciation rates and the expected hold term should then be added to obtain the total expected return.   Let us help you find the right investment property for you - contact us.
