About Me
COME AND ENJOY A LITTLE SLICE OF PARADISE
I am a full time Realtor since 1996. I specialize in Residential , Investment and Relocations in Brevard County Florida, including, Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Eau Gallie, Palm Bay, Grant, Malabar, Valkaria, Rockledge, Suntree, Viera and the beaches-Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, and portions of Merritt Island.
I spend a portion of my time assisting Investors in buying, renting and owning Real Estate. I have been buying, refurbishing, holding, renting and managing investment property in Melbourne since 1996. My broker has been investing for nearly 50 years. In my opinion in real estate investing wealth is created over time.
Today there are buying opportunities available for owners and investors. And sellers that purchased before the peak of the market here in 2005, are in a position to profit from their home sale.
Take your time, do your homework and choose wisely.. Interest rates are still low and prices are at a realistic level. So, don't wait until interest rates go back up!

Kim,
No, a golf membership does not come with the property on 2024 SE Windbrook in Palm Bay. A single membership at Majors Golf Course is $1969 a year. For doubles it's $2980 for the year.
They are running a 2 year special right now...first year is $132 a month, and $155 a month for the second year. For doubles it's $160 a month, and $189 a month for the second year. Cart fees are separate at $17 for 18 holes and $9 for 9 holes.
There are currently other homes also available in Summerfield at Bayside Lakes. Starting at $265,900...
Hope this helps.
Have a great day.

Hi Maria,
According to the Brevard County Property Appraisers website the 2008 proposed taxes on this home are approximately $2700.00 a year. However, tax bills will be going out shortly so, we are not positive what taxes will be billed on the property. It is indicating that there is currently homestead exemption on in, but it looks as if the property has recently changed hands in August 2008, so we don't know if an owner or investor took possession of it, so homestead may drop off in 2009.
Unfortunately, on homeowners insurance there are so many different factors to take into consideration to determine the amount of the insurance...age of roof, proximity to water, age of upgrades...plumbing, electrical system, A/C. I would be more than happy to put you in touch with a local insurance company that could give you a quote on an insurance policy. And it will depend on whether you will be living in the property or using it as as investment property.
Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any additional questions.

You indicated that you have been renting the same apartment for 4 years. From your comment it sounds as if you are dealing with an individual owner. Are the restrictions that have been included in your updated lease those that you are able to comply with? Or do they cause you concern? Have you built a relationship in which you can sit down and discuss any concerns with your landlord? A good landlord/tenant relationship is a give/take relationship. I am happy to have my current tenants, and in most cases I look forward to keeping them. So, I am happy to work through any bumps in the road that we may have (as long as they are in harmony with the local or community guidelines in the area in which they are living). Talk to your landlord about your concerns.
In our area of Florida vacancy rates are up by 12% over last year! We currently have many empty properties.

Hi Teresa, Good question. I have heard others in your same situation express the same views. I think often times friends would prefer to keep business and personal relationships separate. I have often seen personal friendships ruined as soon as money became a factor. You know best how to handle your friend. I would remain honest in your explanation as to why you would prefer to keep your real estate dealings separate from your valuable friendship. Best of everything to you.
