Once you establish your priorities in order of importance e.g.
1. boat access
2.condo (or single family home)
3. how many bedrooms and bathrooms
4. PRICE
you will really narrow down your search, which will make it much easier for you to get down to business..

Hi. I can echo all the previous comments. However, what I would like to know about are some issues with your planned rental.

What do you consider to be your vacation time? The reason I ask this is that unlike areas such as Orlando, there is not a year round, short-term rental market on the Gulf coast. The 'snowbirds' ( people from the northern US States and Canada), take short rentals on the Gulf Coast during the Winter months when it is cold in their home state. This is a prime time to get your rental income, but is unlikely to be more than 8 - 10 weeks. If this is the time of year you want to use the property you may find you are impacting your rental potential.

The other question revolves around how important rental income is to you. You will have mortgage payments, real estate taxes, maintenance costs and possibly home owner's association fees. If you need to cover all these costs from rental income you will need to maximise your rental potential.

It is a fact that it is not so easy to get consistent, short-term rental income on the Gulf Coast out of the Winter season. The reason being that the VAST majority of visitors to Florida head for ............. you guessed it 'Orlando. Why? Well it is just about the most visited city in the world. A major family destination because of all the attractions. So there is a much reduced demand for short term out of season. You would be advised to look at your income and expenditure carefully.

Your other option would be to buy for long-term rental, that way, you can take advantage of the market conditions (as discussed previously), and maybe get some usage during voids.

If you would like to see an example of the costs associated with owning a property in Florida visit here: http://www.orlandorealestate-li.com/ and click on 'Orlando Villa Running Costs' Not all the costs would be the same, but it would give you a good idea.

We are an international company with many years experience in Florida and elsewhere. Our licensed Florida staff can show you a big range of properties around Naples.

If we can be of any help please contact us.

Best of luck

Hello Swedish Investor

Some of the best deals are with Bank Owned homes and I can email you a custom list if you go to the request form at http://www.napleshomepage.com/foreclose.htm

As an investor you are interested what properties are selling for, so I have recent sales on my website at http://www.napleshomepage.com/recent_sales_menu.htm, listed by community or subdivision.

If you aren't familiar with our communities, take a look at my Google map of all SW Florida communities at http://www.napleshomepage.com/recent_sales_menu.htm

Identify the communities close to the beach, what they've been selling for, locate them on the Bank Owned list and bingo, you have a deal!

Just call for more help

Thanks,
Graham Ginsberg

You are correct when you say it is a "buyers market" in Naples, Florida. There are over 11,500 homes and condos to choose from. Plus, more than 1,100 waterfront properties, including 200 between $500,000 and $750,000; and another 200 between $750,000 and $1 million. You can get more information about these properties, and all the others at: http://www.NaplesWaterfront.biz

I would be glad to help you -- either online via email -- or in person when you visit Naples. I also offer a Fly & Buy program. I will credit you up to $1,000 on your airfare when you purchase a Naples home using my services. More details are available at http://www.WOWnaples.com.
