Miami Beach Fl Real Estate

Miami Beach, Florida real estate as well as South Beach, Florida real estate has started being counted among the most sought after real estate investments, all over the world. It all started when Carl fisher began developing the famous Fisher Island in the 1920s. Since then the rage for Miami Beach real estate has only grown north. The past few years have seen an explosion in construction activities in Miami Beach. These include new constructions, as well as redevelopment work. The new constructions chiefly consist of homes, condos, villas and condo hotels.

People, who are flush with money and would like to put their wealth to good use, are looking towards the South Florida real estate market, for buying vacations homes, second homes, villas along the Atlantic Ocean, condominiums, single family homes, and small mansions that are found along the Intracoastal Waterways. Most of them are interested in properties spread over the Sunny Isles Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Golden Beach, South Beach and in Aventura and Bal Harbour.

The real estate market of South Beach covers a small area consisting of twenty five blocks. It is surrounded by the Biscayne Waterways, on one side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. The properties include highly luxurious stuff like the Apogee at 800 South Point Drive, and the Continuum, which is situated on the southern tip of the Atlantic Ocean. The South Beach is also known for the smaller, but historic art deco buildings that can be found at its center. Since these art deco buildings or condos were built around 1940s and 1950s, they carry a unique look and feel, which makes them very attractive.

The Miami Beach real estate is famous for the pristine sands at its beaches and its nightlife. Some of the hippest night clubs, bars and lounges in the South Beach are found along Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive. Besides that, the areas of Merrick Park, Palm Beach and Bal Harbour offer the opportunities for high end shopping. These places are always alive, with great partying. Some of the most luxurious condominiums in the planet are situated in the area that lies south of Fifth Street, also referred to as “SoFi”.

The South Beach area is quite diversified in characteristics and that is one of the reasons why it appeals to the sensibilities of a variety of people coming from different parts of the world.

Real Estate Power Investor Webinar – Part 1

Inheriting $250K and looking for some financial advice?

I am a 21 year old male college student currently living in North Orange County. I am preparing to inherit about $250,000.00 from a family member’s estate, and I am somewhat unsure of what to do with the money. I am a full time student, and I only work a few hours a week. I profit about $10,000.00 max annually from work, so I need to make a significant return in order to pay my annual bills, which total about $20,000.00 right now.Here are some key points to consider:

Last comment first: if you are going to buy a used car, spend about $12k. Seriously. The second you buy it, it starts depreciating…don’t let your new found “wealth” burn a hole in your pocket…and don’t get caught up in the “try to impress” thing. It is a losing battle.

Second-Pay off the debts immediately. Not only the $10k in medical bills, but the balance that you say totals around $20k. That debt is accumulating interest at probably 18% annually…so dump it!

Third- Why are your bills so high? Are you including apartment, utilities etc? If so, then $20k sounds reasonable…if not…I gotta ask again: Why are your bills so high?

Fourth- Don’t go to a “stock broker” or anyone else who gets paid only when they make trades in your account. Their obligation is legally to the firm they work for, not to the client. Stay away from them!

Fifth- If you can keep working, excellent. That $10k you make knocks your $20k in living expenses down to $10k per year. You should be able to generate $10k a year from your $250k, even after paying bills/debts and buying the $12k car that I recommend.

How to invest it? Go to a financial advisor…a money manager. Someone who is paid LESS THAN 1% to manage your money. Anything more than 1% annually is way too high. They will recommend a strategy of various diversified mutual funds which will end up giving you good growth over the years…and hopefully they can give you guidance when you have more questions. Good luck!
