Clearwater, Florida Investments
Through history, real estate investing has been an excellent
vehicle for weath accumulation. In our current economy, with the languishing stock
market and low interest rates, real estate has received more interest and
consideration from the average investor. More and more people are considering
investment in real estate for their retirement and their financial stability.
The real estate market in Clearwater/Clearwater Beach has really taken off in the
last several years. Fortunately, it is still considerably below areas south of here,
like Sarasota and Naples. For this reason, and the fact approximately 2000 people move
to Florida daily, we believe investment in Clearwater area real estate will continue to
provide very good to excellent returns for at least the next several years.
Real estate investing can take several different forms, in terms of property choices.
Often, investors want income producing properties, which can be residential, commercial,
or resort type properties. Some investors invest in raw, undeveloped land and either
hold for resale at a later date, or develop the property to its highest and best use.
They then either sell off the newly developed property or use it as income producing
property.
Recently, there has been a significant interest in the "flip.", buying property and
quickly reselling it. Sometimes selling it before even taking ownership.
There are still opportunities in this regard, though certain builders are limiting
the number of investors in their new developments.
