Florida real estate tips, traps for foreign buyers

Current conditions are especially attractive to investors who have seen prices rise sharply in their native countries to levels that now well exceed comparable properties in Florida.

Buying a bargain is not that simple. Real estate agents must guide foreign buyers through a complex maze of visas, real estate regulations and currency rules.

How to Write a Classified Property Wanted Ad

When writing your classified property wanted ad, use as few words as possible to get your message across.  Nowadays, most papers have a four-line minimum with each line consisting of no more than twenty-six characters.  To keep your ad right at three lines, write it out on graph paper that comes already divided into small squares.
