More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Produced in conjunction with the Sunday Times, this innovative guide gives all the practical information necessary to buy a home in Florida. Whether you’re looking for an apartment, a holiday home or a place to retire to, it offers all the latest information on buying property. The guide covers all the regions that are popular with home-buyers and provides in-depth information on what to expect from each area: its climate, economy and facilities.
Buying a Property gives advice on every step of the moving process, from the first stages of organizing visas and dealing with immigration and customs, to negotiating with estate agents, having surveys done and drawing up contracts, as well as restoring your property and finding reputable rental agencies. To accompany the practical advice, the guide features anecdotes and case studies which give insights into the realities of settling into a new environment and getting used to a different culture and pace of life.

Excellent guide for buying a property in Florida,
By
This review is from: Buying a Property: Florida (Paperback)
This is an excellent guide to buying a property in Florida which beats it's rivals hands down. It is written by people with an indepth knowledge on the subject and an intimate knowledge of the local market - something of great importance to anyone considering making this big step. I would regard it as essential reading to anyone thinking of buying in Florida.

A useful primer but not enough for the serious investor,
By Mark (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buying a Property: Florida (Paperback)
I eagerly awaited delivery of this book, I'd been told it was the definitive guide for buying Florida property. Plus I'd read the glowing 5 star review here on Amazon.Overall I was dissapointed, particularly in the superficial mannner in which the most important aspects of property investing were covered. All the common sense stuff is there, like 'a dirty property won't get any repeat rentals'. But the nitty gritty is skated over. No useful information on financing, obtaining a US mortgage, management companies and fees, yields and ROI. Clearly written by someone who doesn't own a rental property in Florida. This book is a good primer but don't expect it to provide enough information to go right out and do what it suggests in the title.

Written for citizens of the United Kingdom - NOT AMERICANS,
By Book "Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buying a Property: Florida (Paperback)
This book was written for citizens of the United Kingdom and other countries. Its value to American buyers, investors, and developers is VERY LIMITED. It deals primarily with visa, British Law, and expatriate issues. It contains two types of information: 1. general comments regarding real estate in the U.S.A. and 2. Florida tourist information (e.g. ...the best place to eat dinner in Tampa). All financial information is expressed in terms of the British Pound.
