Question removed

Judy Weber answered:
Hi Joerg, While reviewing all the answers posted to your question, I think everyone has overlooked the the criteria of 'most affordable'. My advice would be to check out Gulf Gate. Gulf Gate is a neighborhood established in the 1960's and is centrally located to about everything Sarasota has to offer. It is about a 5 minute drive to Siesta Key and maybe 10 during season. The homes are smaller, older, well built with plenty of room for a personal touch. Gulf Gate village is in walking distance and is just individual shops and restaurants. The available homes range from mid 100's to 300. It is a great area to check out.

Good Luck!

Investment property in Sarasota?

Judy Weber answered:
Hi, I have been working with an investor in your situation ie. looking for 6-7% and we are finding it to be a tough sell. With the help of my office, we have come up with a unique idea for investors in this market with an ever greater return. It is beneficial for both buyer and seller. It is not a scam or scheme and seems to be the perfect answer in this market. Let me know if you would like more information.

Thanks, Judy - Sun Oct 5 2008, 14:50

I have been looking for a place to retire, and like Florida,

Judy Weber answered:
Again Tman, I don't know where you lived or live in Florida, but I grew up in Miami and lived in the Keys for the first 27 years of my life, I have lived in Sarasota for the last 16 and have never been asked to evacuate at any time. I think you are mixing up Florida with Las Vegas for flooding. - Sun Aug 3 2008, 17:11
Tman, as a lifelong resident of Florida, both coasts, and an owner of 5 residential properties, I can 100% tell you that you are wrong about flood insurance - only specific properties are required to have flood insurance. Also, in the 6 properties I have sold in 2008, 1 property needed flood insurance because the government has not updated FEMA maps. The total cost was $217 per year. I also disagree with you concerning deductibles - I would never choose the lowest deductible on any type of policy. - Sun Aug 3 2008, 05:23
There are many factors that influence the cost of insurance. The main things are age of the home , location and construction. The newer the home, concrete block construction and distance from the water keep the rate down. I don't believe the rates are that high in Sarasota. As far as storms, I have been in Sarasota for the last 16 years and have yet to have storm damage of any kind. You should check out our town, it is a great place to live, visit and/or retire.

Seeking 3 Br/2 Bth condo/townhouse in Sarasota

Judy Weber answered:
Village Walk by Divosta is the greatest home away from home. It is somewhat like a resort home with all the amenities and very safe and secure when you are not there. There are homes, condos, townhomes and villas. Some come with pools. The entire community is maintenance free and offers something for everyone. Based on a quick look at our MLS, the 3 bedrooms are charging a fee of $846 per quarter for the fees. The fee covers the following: Cable Tv, Common Grounds, Common Pool, Landscape/Lawn, Manager, Recreational Facilities, Private Road, Public Insurance, Reserves. If you would like any more information, please let me know.

Good Luck, Judy - Thu Jul 24 2008, 18:12
