Buyer Guide Directory

What should you look for in a safe investment?

• Titles- Properties with titles or supporting certification that it is currently in process, properties backed by national banks.
• Security- On-site security is important, and you should look for gated communities, or free standing units with good visible security.
• On-Site Management- Lack of effective on-site maintenance and Condominium is a mayor factor for loss of tenants.  Most of the area's properties have no titles, therefore no Home Owner's Association.  Many developers just up and leave after the sales are done, and leave a costly mess behind for you to deal with.
