Wayme there are many different funds available for first time home buyers. There are even programs right now that may offer up to 9% seller contribution. WHat that basically means is that you are putting down a minimal amount to buy a place. Its kind lof like renting a place without paying any security deposit or anything upfront and starting your rent payments the next month...but in this case you are owning! IF you have any questions feel free to contact me. My name is Javier. Take a look at the company website for more info. Take care! - Wed Jul 9 2008, 17:04

How are you Ari? I come across this with clients everyday. One thing I tell them is you can always put the property up for sale and see what kind of offers you get. That wont cost you anything and who knows maybe you get an offer that you feel comfortable with accepting. Another point is how hard is the $800 loss a month affecting you on a month to month cash flow basis based on your TOTAL income (job income..any income received) versus expenses (mortgages, credit cards, bills) . The more it is affecting you realtively speaking, the more maybe I would lean towards selling it and vice versa. If you have any furthur questions feel free to contact me. My name is Javier.

Frank I forgot to mention, right now there are alot of programs on the financing/mortgage side that are real attractive. For example there are programs where you can purchase your new home with only 3% down. Also interest rates are still realtively low which means, all other things being equal, lower mortgage payments! - Tue Jul 8 2008, 08:27
How are you Frank? Great idea, Palmetto Bay and Weston are two great areas. They have great schools, clean, and have a warm family atmosphere. I would also consider maybe coral gables. Another fantastic thing is 500,000 dollars is worth alot more today for buying a home than a couple years ago, so youre getting alot more bank for your buck! If you have any furthur questions feel free to contact me. My name is Javier. I'd be glad to help. Take care. - Tue Jul 8 2008, 08:21

Hello..hope all is well. I think it all depends on the particular deal. IF youre looking at a particular deal and it cash flows I think its something to look furthur into. One thing I can say is the property taxes and Homeowners insurance in south florida is relatively high compared to ohio so that plays a factor in your cash flow analysis. On the other hand, the rent you can charge in south florida because of the location may be higher than a property in Ohio. In the end I think youre right on track in looking into investing at this time. Buyers have levergae because there are so many properties for sale and foreclosures available. Take a look at the particular deal and see if you feel comfortable when you do your number crunching. If you have any furthur questions feel free to contact me. My name is Javier. I'm here to help. Have a wonderful day! - Tue Jul 8 2008, 08:13

Hello..hope all is well with the both of you. It really all depends what youre looking for... Coral Gables and South beach are both great areas but they are different. South beach is a bit more lively, generally younger people, trendy, more of a night life (clubs , bars, lounges). Coral gables is also a great area..it has variety of excellent restaurants, there is a mall... Merrick Park.... in coral gables that is dedicated to only high end designer shopping (hugo boss, neiman marcus, nordstrom , and designer stores), I would say the difference is coral gables is more calm laid back more of a family atmosphere compared to the night life and constant action going on in south beach. IF any of you have any questions regarding your mortgage/financing options (amount down payment required, mortgage payments, rates) feel free to ask! My name is Javier. MY office is located in the heart of downtrown coral gables. Good luck! - Sun Jul 6 2008, 17:01
