Hello Mayra,

Below you will find a link to the requirements that are needed to obtain a license in Florida. You can also find that information onhttp:// www.myflorida.com.

I hope this answer your question.

I never heard of an 18 hour course. Maybe if you are reactivating a license after a few years of inactive status maybe, but I never heard about that course for a first time licensee.

Good luck - Yesterday, 10:56

Hello Marina, If you become a member of the http://www.dailybusinessreview.com/ you can get information on foreclosure properties and tax certificate sales. Buying a foreclosure property is a risky business if you don't have access to a title company. Most foreclosure properties have damage, liens, and fines from the city. You must be very careful when investing in foreclosure properties. Some of the properties listed on the MLS are bank owned and you might find some great deals there.

Good morning Bourdin. It's simple, Miami or the South Florida area are known for the beautiful beaches, plenty of entertainment, the food, the people, the nightlife and more. I think Miami will be a great place to invest as long as you make the right decision. I will suggest Miami if you are planning on paying off the property. Since the prices are still a little high, cash flow might be a problem, but if you pay it off, you will not have a problem. Ohio has lower prices and will give you more room to play with. But I suggest buying in a city that everyone would like to move to. More than 1000 families move to Florida every day. If you invest in Miami Beach and hire a professional to manage your property, you should have it rented 95% of the time. Again, you need to hire a professional that knows the area well and you need to do the homework in order to make the right decision. I hope you make the right decision. I would like to invite you to Miami for a city tour. Please visit my website for more information. - Thu May 8 2008, 07:14

Hi Helene,

We have experienced an increase in buyer activity in our area, but closing the deal has become a problem. Banks are very strict in this area and require more and more every day. But yes, we are selling more and more. I think buyers are realizing that it's a good time to buy. The price range that we are selling the most is under 300K and above 1.5mil. Not many sales in between. first time buyers are out there and they want to buy now that prices are lower. I am concentrating on first time buyers and they represent 80% of my last sales. I am glad to see that other areas are recuperating. Thanks again for the information. - Wed May 7 2008, 06:24

In the Miami, FL area we are getting more calls and we have more buyers. What we are not having are qualified buyers. People still want to buy, but a large number of buyers are realizing that the banks are not as flexible as for the last 5 years. But, to answer your question. Yes we are experiencing a buzz. Good luck. - Fri Apr 18 2008, 20:28
