Some ideas about beach real estate

For many years I have been thinking about buying a condo on the beach, somewhere in Florida, for example. As prices for property have fall down I’ve decided to make some research on this topic and, maybe, to buy one for myself. Beach real estate is an attractive investment as people like relaxing near water and they are ready to pay big money to have a small summer house on the beach where they can come for the weekend or holiday. Miami is one of the most popular places for buying such beach property and prices here seldom drop drastically.

If you don’t want to live there all the year round, you will have no problems in finding tenants for your house. If you have much free money, you can think about becoming a real estate investor.

So I’m ready to buy a FSBO house (as I’m against realtors) and enjoy this summer in Florida.

Atlanta Green Homes

Nowadays the idea of “green homes” is getting more and more popular among home buyers. They are definitely “going green”. What does it mean in real estate?

There are special green building certification programs of local and national scale which helps home buyers to make the decision about a purchase. These programs are Earth Craft House, Energy Star Homes, LEED for Homes and NAHB National Green Building Program. What are the advantages of such living in a “green zone”? Living in a “green” location promotes better health, a reduction in greenhouse gas, increased social capital and stronger local businesses. The way of life as a whole in these locations is eco-friendly. So, those who are going to buy a house in Georgia this year, pay their attention to special green certification programs and really win. And by the way - why not to try FSBO?
