Philip Cornish asked:


Listed below are some very helpful and extremely important tips if you are considering purchasing a Florida vacation villa.

First steps

Before my wife and I became Florida vacation villa owners, we spent many months investigating if and where we should buy an investment property. Should the villa have a pool and / or spa, should it be close to Disney, how many bedrooms and bathrooms should it have.  How will I obtain a mortgage and what type of mortgage is best.  These are just a small sample of the many questions that you will need answered before taking that final step of buying your dream vacation home.

Florida is extremely well known for its large and beautifully designed properties, year round sunshine, many attractions, exquisite beaches and inexpensive lifestyle. We wanted a holiday home that we could enjoy with our family and also rent out to help cover the cost of the mortgage.

Finally, after many months of trawling the internet speaking to various property companies and existing villa owners we were ready to purchase our very own Disney villa.  We needed to select a good development area, choose our own plot and decide on the style of the property to be built.  We eventually decided on a single storey home in Kissimmee.  Once it was completed, it was everything we dreamed it would be. One thing I can say with absolute conviction is that my wife and I are glad we took the plunge and have absolutely no regrets about buying in Florida.

You have already taken the first step toward purchasing your home by reading this article.  Though buying a property in Florida is relatively uncomplicated we still hear many stories of people who have had problems in one way or another.

Please don’t forget that the experience of buying your Florida dream home should be pleasurable and exciting.  From visiting the various developments, choosing the plot and house that is right for you to finally making the purchase.

Location, location, location

The next step to buying your home requires some ground work to be done by yourself prior to arriving in Florida.  Firstly decide where you want to buy. Do you want the villa to be close to Orlando’s many theme and water park attractions or do you prefer to be near the beaches? If you prefer the beaches, do you prefer the Gulf Coast (more expensive) or the Atlantic Coast.  Whichever you decide as with all investment properties location is very important. Once you have decided on your location, you must decide the type of property, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, pool, etc. Do you want to be on a small development or larger resort development, do you want a gated or non gated community.

And last but not least what is your budget.

Once you have narrowed your options, we can provide you with the latest information on the developments which are of most interest and likely to suit your needs.

Do You Need To Rent Your Property ?

This is a very important question as it will determine where you can buy. Only certain communities in Orlando are zoned for STR (Short Term Rental).  Please do not accept any verbal guarantees from any salesperson regarding STR without checking in the covenants and restrictions of the developer.

One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing the development which suits your needs best. Remember not all developments allow short term rental and if you intend to rent your property this is the single most important item you must consider.

Remember the developers’ agent is acting on behalf of the builder, and is bound by law to obtain the best possible deal for the builder, not for you. Some builders and management companies offer guaranteed rental programs. These include a minimum income for an agreed period (usually 12 months) or alternatively, a minimum number of weeks booked for the year. What you are not told however is what the income will be for those weeks or what the agent will rent your property out for (for example, you may receive £400 per week but the agent is renting it out for £500 per week).

We strongly advise that if you decide not to secure rentals for the property yourself, then you thoroughly investigate any proposals presented to you from Management Companies / Letting Agents.

Our advice is that if you have the time, you market the villa yourself. This allows you to maximise your income and makes it easier to reach that magical break even point of income versus expenditure. If we are being honest this can be quite time consuming but well worth the effort when the bookings start to come in. If you go down this route you will have to consider the costs involved in marketing your villa. Costs could include newspaper / magazine advertising, creating your own website, listing your villa on other websites and other incidentals like business cards, flyers etc.

 

Inspection Trips

We would highly recommend you look at the possibility of an inspection trip.  This can be purely for the purpose of choosing your dream home or can be combined with a holiday / vacation.

While there are benefits to both scenarios if you have limited time available and are there, purely with the inspection of properties in mind, then you are more focussed on the job in hand. However, we would recommend an absolute minimum of 4 days for an inspection visit. You will need to meet up with the Realtor to view several villas and communities, spend a few sleepless nights deciding on which property to purchase, sign contracts with the builders, pay the deposit, choose the colour of the house etc.  Decide on the shape and size of the pool and type of pool tiles, open a bank account and look at some of the furniture packages that are available. A very hectic but rewarding few days.

Alternatively If you can spare more time, it will give you extra opportunities to view a few more developments over a longer period, then take a few days to contemplate and narrow your choice down to a couple of villas before finally viewing your favourites again.

You will also have more time to investigate the local area and amenities such as shops, restaurants, banks and supermarkets to satisfy yourself the area has what you and your guests will be happy with.

Its now time to make your final decision. Should you buy a new home or a resale.

Should you decide to have your dream home newly built, you will then sign a contract with your chosen builder, leave your deposit and if you haven’t already done so open a bank account and arrange a mortgage quotation.

If you decide to purchase a resale home, then under Florida law, all that is required for a legally binding sales contract is a signed written agreement plus good faith deposit. It is therefore possible to ‘Exchange Contracts ’straight away with a Seller and virtually eliminate any possibility of your chosen property being sold elsewhere. Most written Sales contracts are conditional and you will have ample time to arrange financing, survey the property and approve legal work. If your loan is denied or the house does not pass inspection, you may withdraw without penalty. There can be any number of conditions in the contract but essentially all elements of the sale should be in writing to avoid dispute.

We would highly recommend that you use the services of a state registered realtor whether you are buying new or resale. In the U.K. we use estate agents who are normally employed by the house owner to find a buyer for their property. They then work with both the buyer and seller to agree a deal that is suitable to both. The downfall of this system is that the estate agent may withhold information about the buyer or seller which may be beneficial to the other despite the seller paying their fee. In Florida the realtor you choose can only work on your behalf and is legally bound to act in your best interest disclosing information such as – is the property worth the asking price – are there similar properties available at a better price – are there any known future developments that may affect the value of the property.

The Realtor we work with very closely has many years experience in Real Estate Sales.  She has specialised in the short term letting market for the last few years and is completely independent and is not tied to any builder, which is often not the case.

MORTGAGES

Many British citizens who buy a holiday home in Florida, are unsure whether to arrange a US or UK mortgage.

Most US mortgages enable you to lock into a fixed rate mortgage for up to 30 years.  In our opinion, this is the best way forward as you will always know what your monthly mortgage outgoings will be – there will not be any interest rate increases.  The only drawback is that exchange rate fluctuations will affect how many dollars you get to the £ when you transfer money over to your US bank account.  However, if you keep an eye on the rates and transfer money at the correct time, these fluctuations will not have a significant effect on your expenditure.

A UK mortgage can be arranged through one or two companies dealing with homes in Florida and usually offer variable rate mortgages closely linked to our own bank base rate – usually around 1.5% above base rate.  They do offer a fixed rate but usually for a maximum of 3 years.  The issue with this type of mortgage is that your repayments are always subject to interest rate increases – remember that if your mortgage payments increase, you cannot increase your weekly rental prices.  The upside is that your repayments are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations.

MANAGEMENT

Once you have purchased your villa, whether you intend to use it for your own personal use, or for short term rental purposes, you will most definitely need to employ the services of a reputable management company to look after your prize investment. In this section our aim is to advise you on the do’s and don’ts of management in Florida.

Which Type Of Management Company Should I Choose ?

The simple answer to the question above is really down to individual circumstances. In Orlando there are literally hundreds of management companies offering their services to villa owners. They vary from the very large companies with hundreds of homes on their books to the small husband and wife teams with just a few homes. Our advice, is that you look into which type of Management Company suits your personal needs and aspirations for your villa, speak to at least 3 companies and make you final decision from there.  If possible obtain recommendations from current villa owners who deal with the proposed Management Company.

What Should I Expect From My Management Company ?

Lawn Maintenance – can be arranged through your management company, though some developments include lawn maintenance in their association fees. Lawn maintenance should include grass mowing, fertilization, watering and general maintenance to prevent costly damage at a later date.

Villa Cleaning and Inspection – includes the cleaning of towels, bed linen, dishes etc once your guest has vacated the villa. A thorough check of the villa for damage, where damage is found the rentors security deposit can be charged accordingly. The villa check is designed to keep your villa maintained in tip top condition for your future guests and you the villa owner.

Pool Maintenance – should include services such as cleaning of the pool, ph balancing, water chlorination and replacing pump filter.

Villa Maintenance – essential maintenance such as small stains on the carpet, marks on the walls etc. If dealt with early these wear and tear problems ensure major maintenance will be required as infrequently as possible.

Pest Control – monthly chemical treatments to both the inside and outside of your property are a must in Florida. The treatments are essential to ensure the elimination of insects from your home.

Bill Payment Facility – some Management Companies offer to pay your utilities bills from rentals monies received.  They transfer monies received from rentals into your US bank account and pay the utility bills from the same bank account.  We personally pay all our own bills directly out of our bank account and so keep complete control of all our finances.   The decision on which route you take is entirely yours.

Dealing With Licencing Issues

All villa owners who intend to rent their villa for short term rental purposes must be properly licensed with Department of Regulation, divisions of hotels and restaurants and a Florida state agency. Before the licence is issued the property will be inspected by a Florida state agency, this will cost in the region of $150 for a single family home.  Your Management Company will be able to assist in all of the items below.

The state of Florida inspection requires each home to have the following.

 A copy of your charges for the villa must be kept at you management companies office.

 A 2A40BC fire extinguisher to be installed.

 A smoke alarm system in all living areas including bedrooms and living rooms all alarms must be interlinked.

 An additional smoke alarm for the hard of hearing.

 All exterior doors must have a double locking system fitted.

Taxes

In addition to the property taxes that every homeowner has to pay, an additional tax based on the gross rents received must be collected for any rentals of 180 days or less. This tax is made up of:

5-6% Tourist Development or Resort Tax

6-7% State of Florida Sales Tax.

Therefore, a total of around 11% to 13% of gross rentals received is to be paid in State and County Taxes.  Normally these taxes are charged on top of the rents and paid by the tenants – much the same as would take place with a hotel or motel.   However, for our homes, we include the taxes within the price we quote so that the potential guest does not receive any nasty surprises when the final rental cost is calculated.

Taxes that are collected from rental income must be submitted to the appropriate agencies on a monthly basis by the 20th of the following month, in compliance with the law. In other words, rental income received in August must be paid by the 20th of September.  By paying these taxes, you are assured that you are properly registered for State and County Tax.  It is the responsibility of the owner to declare the rental income achieved on Owner Bookings and to pay the relevant tourist tax. If your Management Company has made bookings on your behalf and taken the rental income, then it is their responsibility to ensure all taxes are paid to the relevant authorities.  However, you need to check this happens as any default on payment is YOUR responsibility.  For this reason, my wife and I pay all taxes for our properties – once again enabling us to keep strict control of our finances.

David Arnold Livingston asked:


So you have saved enough money for a Florida vacation. You are very excited. You want to go to the beach but still have access to other amenities. But you don’t where to go.

Well there’s no better place to go than to Florida. If your purpose is to have fun and relax, Florida is the perfect place to be.

Florida is known as the Sunshine State because of its long stretches of sandy beaches, larger-than-life theme parks and near perfect climate all year round. It is because of these attractions, Florida is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. Florida is composed of 1,200 miles of sugary white beaches and surrounded by clear blue seas. Florida offers a unique blend of tropical sunshine, modern Miami culture and warm Southern hospitality. The best thing you will love about Florida is the weather. Florida’s average temperature is in the mid 80’s in the summer, and the mid 70’s in the winter.

To experience Florida as its best, it is highly advisable that you rent a vacation rental home or a beach front condo that would provide you with the perfect sand and sea holiday.

Aside from swimming and basking under the Florida sun, you can do other fun activities in the sunny state. You can enjoy a round of golf in the cosmopolitan city of Naples; you can do some canoeing through the waterways of Sarasota; you can fish at Fort Myers Beach or feast on the delicious seafood in Tarpon Springs. A Florida vacation would ensure you have a good time both indoors and outdoors.

Another fun activity to do in Florida, is shopping. Miami, in particular, is a very fashionable city. Miami is literally a melting pot of cultures.

To complete your Florida vacation you must visit Orlando, the homeland of Mickey. Orlando is a vibrant city brimming with extravagant theme parks, shopping malls, late-night bars, restaurants and family catered entertainment. This is the reason why Orlando earned the distinction of being America’s theme capital.

Exploring Florida will take time because Florida is a very long state. Be aware that you will spend a lot of time on the road. if you want to visit both the Florida Panhandle and also Key West. So it would be necessary to spend at least two weeks in Florida to see all the sights. One week is simply not enough to catch all the fun Florida can offer.

If you are planning to work while you’re on vacation and will tote along your laptop, it will not be a problem as most hotels offer wireless Internet service. But it is advisable to call ahead to the hotel and verify the connection you can expect.

If you don’t like running into crowds, then plan your Florida vacation for the cooler seasons. You tend to get a bit better service and often a break on hotel prices. February and October are the two best months, due to the really nice weather. Also take note of local Florida events, like the lobster mini-season in the Florida Keys, the seafood festival in Cedar Key and the Daytona 500 NASCAR Race at Daytona Beach. Whatever your preferred activiites, take lots of sun screen!

Doug Petrie asked:


Many families have enjoyed a trip to the Sunshine State by staying in one of the comfortable Florida vacation rentals. People can choose from a wide variety of properties based on their budget and the size of their family. They can select secluded cottages and cabins, beach front villas, houses and condos. The best thing about vacation rentals in Florida is that the holiday can work out incredibly cheap especially if you share costs with another family. Most rentals are equipped with amenities like a well-fitted kitchen, BBQ, hot tub/Jacuzzi, swimming pool, wireless internet connection; phone, cable TV, Flat Screen TV, DVD, stereo, washer, dryer and fresh linen.

More Space Than In Cramped Hotel Rooms

People seem to prefer to stay in Florida vacation rentals than in hotel rooms on account of many factors in favor of the rentals. They are more luxurious than hotel rooms and more spacious. Families can build bonds and memories by staying in a home away from their home. They get to select the kind of view and locale they wish to spend some time together in. Families with small children will definitely appreciate being able to take care of the mounting pile of dirty clothes without any hassles. People can dine in and save money or opt to eat at the many restaurants that are just a few minutes drive from away.

Many couples have hired Florida vacation home rentals to have the perfect beach wedding and reception. It is also a great place to enjoy romantic getaways with your loved one. There are several family destinations too that can make it a very enjoyable and memorable occasion. Children love trips to the fabulous Disney World, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and SeaWorld. Tourists will never get enough of the Discovery Cove, Orlando, which can be a most enjoyable excursion swimming with dolphins and snorkeling through the coral reefs. Beach side fun such as surfing, jet skiing, scuba diving, para sailing, boat excursions can keep your days busy while the nightlife is equally tempting and enjoyable.

Florida beach vacation rentals are available too, with ocean fronted properties being much in demand. Some of them are offered along with water crafts and most of them are located within easy driving distance from the shopping and entertainment areas. You could enjoy casino cruises, dinner cruises, sunset and themed cruises. If you are a history buff, you might love visiting the Heritage Village and St. Augustine. If you are a nature buff and love outdoor sports you might want to visit one of Florida’s Natural Forests; Apalachicola, Ocala or Osceola. Hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, biking, boating, water skiing and picnicking with family and friends in the Natural Forest is an experience not to be missed.

Children will love staying in Florida vacation rentals and visiting the many water parks while the women may enjoy shopping at the malls and Downtown areas. The golfers may have a fabulous time at one of the beautiful courses while the ladies will definitely want to pamper themselves at the day spas. With just so many things to see and do you will definitely appreciate coming back to a cozy condo or a warm house instead of an impersonal and cramped hotel room. You can double the fun and even extend the trip if you share accommodation and costs with another family.

Vincent Berkmans asked:


 

Did you know that Florida is one of the most sought after destinations in the US? Because of this, more and more Florida vacation home rentals are being advertised on newspapers, magazines and of course, on the internet.

 

Thanks to its year-round sunshine, combined with its 800 miles of ocean front, theme parks such as that of Walt Disney world, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, the demand for Florida vacation home rentals is surely on the rise. Aptly named as the sunshine state, Florida offers more than tropical beauty and modern Miami culture, it also has Southern hospitality which makes any vacation here truly memorable.

 

If you are planning to visit Florida and you would like to save a little on accommodation, staying at privately owned homes is the way to go. Of course there are other types of accommodation such as hotels, condos, apartments, chalets and cabins but getting Florida vacation home rentals offers greater privacy. Several homeowners in the state put up their homes for rent especially during the tourist season and this is really great because you can avoid the overcrowding and paper thin walls of commercial resorts. Aside from this, most Florida vacation home rentals are offered at tourist rates since you can talk directly with the owner and you no longer have to pay for the extra costs of a middle man. Other costs such as taxes, parking, tips, and telephone surcharges can be avoided.

 

Most private homes in Florida are built in great locations such as the beach front so you can get a great location without the extra charge! Most Florida vacation home rentals are also spacious and have abundant outdoor space compared to hotels which offers the same prices. This means comfortable accommodation for families and friends who are travelling in bulk! Also, since you are renting a private home, you can cook your food so you save on the markup price of food and drinks plus, you get to eat what you’re craving for! Ordering for kids at a restaurant can also be tedious sometimes and with kitchen amenities available in rental homes, this problem is solved!

 

Looking for Florida vacation home rentals is easy because a lot of them are actually listed on the internet, so much like the yellow pages. Most listing are sorted by owners, and provides information such as the number of rooms, amenities, property description including location and the rates. Of course, the contact details of the owners are provided upon request of those who are interested to rent.

 

If you are the type who loves to travel a lot but staying away from home makes you homesick, then renting out a vacation home can provide you the comfort you need while you are enjoying your vacation. All necessities are available and depending on your needs, you can also package in housekeeping, laundering and even cooking! Of course these all comes at an extra cost. Nevertheless, Florida vacation home rentals provide you with the change from your regular routine at home.

Tampa

Tampa Florida is a busy metro area similar to other cities across the nation.

Ybor City located in Tampa’s Latin Quarter, has become the new “South Beach”. Complete with clubs, restaurants and eclectic shops, the region has a strong Cuban flavor complete with merchants selling hand rolled cigars.

Tampa is also home to Busch Gardens, one of the most popular attractions in Florida and for good reason, Beer. But beer is not the only reason to visit Busch Gardens, there are roller coasters like the SheiKra and Gwazi. Busch Gardens is also home to Animal Attractions.

Miami

Miami is located at the south eastern and that’s what gives it the unique beaches and water quality. Even though the region is a major population area and shipping port, the clear Gulf Stream waters flush Biscayne Bay and the nearby shoreline. The close proximity of the Gulf Stream also makes offshore fishing some of the best anywhere. Fishing for marlin, mahi mahi, wahoo and king mackerel are available year round.

Miami is also home to a large Cuban population giving the area a Latin flavor that impacts the fashion, food and nightclub atmosphere. There are also professional sports teams like the Miami Dolphins.

Orlando

Daniel Millions asked:


You have made a good choice in wanting to vacation in the Sunshine State. You will be able to vacation at Florida’s world renowned beaches such as Clearwater Beach, Daytona Beach, Pensacola Beach, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach and Panama City Beach. All of the above are among the best vacation destinations and best beaches in America.

Of course, nothing will fit the bill better than a visit to Disney World, especially if you have children. Orlando is, by far, the king of theme parks. Just outside of Orlando there exists a greater concentration of fantasy and theme parks than anywhere else in the world!

The doors of Walt Disney World were opened in 1971. Now Orlando has never been the same. You can spend weeks at the other dozen theme parks and entertainment facilities that Orlando has to offer. Walt Disney World comprises a 45 mile complex boasting four major theme parks, an entertainment/shopping park and two water parks. Magic Kingdom seems to appeal to everyone young and old.

Everyone wants to join in the Main Street Electrical Parade. Those who love to dabble with science will surely want to stay a while at Epcot Center. It features the high-tech world of the future and the World Showcase where you can experience the cultures from eleven great nations.

When visiting Florida, one of your stops will simply have to be Orlando’s Sea World. You can see spectacular shows put on by killer whales, dolphins, seals and sea lions. You can visit the touch pool where visitors are allowed to touch various marine life. Just imagine touching a real live stingray as it swims by! If you are on the adventurous side then you will want to take a spin on the water coaster, Journey to Atlantis.

If you like to swim with the fish, then Discovery Cove is your bag! It is actually a sister-park to Sea World. You can either choose to relax on the pristine white sandy beaches or you can go snorkeling at the Coral Reef. For many people, the main attraction is the Dolphin Swim where you can actually talk, play, touch and swim with bottlenose dolphins.

Another great motion picture along with a television theme park is Universal Studios Florida. Most of the shows/rides that Universal Studios has to offer provide a greater entertainment experience because it includes special effects, physical movement, 3-D imagery, lighting and sound. This park also caters to the little ones with Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone, Animal Actors Stage and various playlands and studios.

Florida has many vacation opportunities. Aside from the theme parks, there are other interests and activities that will appeal to everyone. Daytona Beach is famous for its 23 mile beach. Much of it can be driven on with motorcycles, cars and various types of rental vehicles. Now, if you are a race car fan, Daytona Beach is home to Daytona International Speedway. Have you ever heard of the Daytona 500? This is where it all takes place!

You may finally want to make an educational stop at Kennedy Space Center as well as Cape Canaveral. This is America’s space port. Many presentations, tours and displays about our space program’s past, present and future are put on by NASA. You will also see many rockets on display.

Yes, Florida has many sights and discoveries to offer to tourists. If you have not already made a visit to this beautiful state, then perhaps it is time to put this on your to do list!

The beauty of its beaches is very difficult to describe in words that is white sand and beautiful crystal blue water which seems so pure like blue diamond. Fun and activities comes as a part and parcel while holidaying at Destin Florida. Destin Florida will provide you best golf courses besides landscape of palm trees, pines and other beautiful view. So, that while playing you can enjoy the beauty of nature. Destin Florida provides a great package of fun, shopping, fishing, dining, and off course yummy sea food.

While holidaying at Destin Florida you can choose from wide range, the place for accommodation that is from Destin Florida vacation rentals, hotels and many others. Hotels are also a good place to accommodate while holidaying but the factors which interrupts the choice of hotels is that they are expensive and offers no privacy. On the other hand Destin Florida vacation rentals have all the features which accommodating in hotel lacks that is cost factor and privacy.

Destin Florida vacation rental can be a condo, bungalow, apartment, beach houses, villas. The rent on such vacation rental is determined on the basis of its location and area of the vacation rental.

Destin Florida Vacation rentals, as said are cheap as compared to any other accommodation because vacation rental are made available directly from the home owners which involves very low cost that is, only the agent charge his fee in between. On the other side of the coin, in hotels or any other accommodation there are many cost involve which subsequently increases the rent of the rooms.

Destin Florida vacation rental offers all the services which are available at your home that is from kitchen to dinning room and from living room to bed room. In order words you can simply relax in your rooms while watching television or DVD after your day at Destin Florida beaches and after enjoying all the adventure. After that, you can cook for your partner and your family so that you don’t feel home food sick while holidaying. It is also absolutely right to say that after your tiring day in the holidaying town, you can relax as if you are in your own house. But, remember if you incur any loss or damage there, it is possible that you will be asked to pay for that incurred loss.

Thus, it is true that Destin Florida vacation rental is your home away from home.

Alan Cruz asked:


Florida is home for the world famous Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World etc. and when sunshine throughout the year is added, it makes the perfect vacation spot. To make your vacation memorable, Florida offers the Miami culture embellished with tropical beauty and Southern hospitality. The 800 mile long ocean front acts as the icing on the cake, or is it perhaps the cake itself? Depends on how you view it. But, there can be no denying the fact Florida is paradise on earth for vacation seekers.

Vacation Rentals

It is no wonder that there is a beeline of activity when it comes to Vacation Rentals in and around Florida. Hotels, apartments, condos, chalets, cabins and literally any type of tourist accommodation you can think of is available in Florida. For those who prefer that extra bit of privacy, there are the Florida Vacation rental villas.  Homes privately owned by individuals are another option you can consider when you are looking for savings in various incidental expenses necessary in commercial accommodation facilities.

Doing a bit of home work

If you have already planned your Florida vacation, then the first thing to do is a bit of research on the internet. Not just accommodation and the discount offers, but also the vast sea of  attractions, the time each of them can consume ( for sure, you can run out of time and not places to visit and enjoy ), discuss the various options available with the members of your family and finally pick your choice. Once this is done, your vacation will be well planned with no hiccups and every member will be able to enjoy the beholding beauty that only Florida can offer. Vacations help you to unwind and gain fresh energy for the grinding days ahead. Planning helps make those vacations hassle free.
