In Florida, you can transfer up to $500,000 of your accumulated tax savings to a new home when you relocate in the state. This benefit, which comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes provision, can ease the burden of relocating to a new Florida home. 

It can be tricky to know when and if you qualify for portability, but no one should miss out on the opportunity to save with this benefit. We’ll work with you to determine your eligibility for portability and help you out with the required paperwork when you relocate within Florida.

As the manager of an investment property, it’s your job to take care of the property and its tenants. To do so, you must stay on top of a long list of responsibilities, from finding tenants to performing maintenance and everything in between. 

Property owners may reach a point of no longer being able to handle these responsibilities, but they likely still want to hold on to the investment property as a financial asset. In this case, property management services can ensure that the property is professionally run and will increase in value over time. 

If you’ve just purchased an investment property but aren’t experienced in property management, hiring professional services could also be the right choice for you. With these services, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that your newly acquired property is in trusted hands.

Shopping for a home among existing properties often means that renovations are required to achieve your exact specifications. So, rather than just purchasing your dream home and moving in, you’ll need to take time for modifications before settling down. Otherwise, you’ll need to make do with the home as-is.

With new construction for a custom residence, you don’t have to compromise any aspects of your future home. From step one, your home will be built according to your preferences. This saves you from having to tear down and rebuild what you don’t like in an existing home. Plus, a trusted residential contractor will ensure that your new home is constructed at the highest level of quality.

One main benefit of investing in rental property is the cash flow that you’ll gain as the owner of the property. By renting out your investment property, you’ll be able to pay down your mortgage with money collected as rent from tenants, rather than money from your own wallet. Specifically, with a favorable interest rate on your mortgage and a sizable down payment, you’ll be collecting more in rent each month than your expenses as the owner of a rental property.

Over time, rent prices will also increase along with the profit you’ll earn from the property, since your principal and interest payments will stay consistent. The bottom line is that with a rental property, your cash flow will continue to improve from year to year.

Rental properties are smart, long-term investments and provide a great source of passive income, but the expertise of a real estate agent is key in selecting the right rental property for you.

A title is a legal document that designates a specific right to an individual. In the case of real estate, a property title details the property being purchased and the property ownership. 

A title search is an important step in the home-buying process, as it guarantees that the title information won’t cause complications with the sale. It officially states the current owner of the property and the right of that owner to use the property. When you legally purchase the property, those rights will become your own.

Your house is one of your most significant financial investments. But just as importantly, it’s the place that your family calls home. In the case of an accident or emergency, you want to make sure that your home is protected. 

Homeowner’s insurance is designed to cover the costs of damage to your home. For homeowners with a mortgage, you’ll be required to have a homeowner’s insurance plan. Your lender wants to ensure that the home is covered in case of accidents and emergencies. 

Your homeowner’s insurance will cover the cost of damage in the case of:

• Fire
• Extreme weather, including wind, hail, and lightning strikes
• Burglary
• Vehicle collisions with your home
• Injuries incurred by visitors at your home

Homeowner’s insurance policies can differ in the coverage that they provide. Your real estate agent can help you find the coverage that you need. 

When it comes to a large investment like real estate, even small complications can have major ramifications. Protect yourself and your property by investing in professional legal representation.
