What about Condos

Condominiums are either the best piece of real estate in the world or the worst, it depends on the market.  Well they are getting just about right now for investment.  I have attached a list of some in Orange Park and Fleming Island.  There are a few in Orange Park that are selling in the $20,000's  and in that complex some rental rates are from $500 to $650.  You have to remember I do not know the condition and the condo fee is $177 but this is an investment that will cash flow now and as the market turns there is a possibility of increased values.

ZILLOW and TRULIA

I thought everyone knew about Zillow or Trulia and had the App!  But I have found out that is not the case.  You should know about these 2 websites and I-phone and I-pad apps even if you are not looking to buy real estate.  Basically they collect housing market data from just about every market in the US.  If you want to see what is selling in Hollywood California just type in the zip code 90210 and it will not only bring up what is on the market but will have prices, pictures and descriptions.  You can look for second homes in the mountains, on the beach or the upper East side of Manhattan.  When you have a little fun time, check out the 10,170 sf home at 1000 Elden Way in Beverly Hills for 12,950,000.

If you find yourself in a parking lot on Fleming Island or a mall in Ft Myers and have the App, you can search the homes and prices of the surrounding area.  It is a great app and website and very easy to use.  If you want to stretch even further you can download or go to Loopnet.com and do just about the same thing with commercial property.

Let me know some of the fun and unusual ones you find.
