Bundled Golf Naples FL Seasonal Rentals

Bundled Golf Naples FL & Season Rentals

They go together like Bacon & Eggs. Here is the way the cycle works. A younger family can get to take 30 days off in Naples for a golfing vacation in a Bundled Golf Naples FL Community. They enjoy it, (WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?) and so they repeat the experience the following year. Year 3 rolls around and they decide to try a 60 day lease.

Then the bug bites and they figure if they owned a place of their own, they could do a December through Christmas & New Years maybe even stay through the end of January, and rent their unit out for February and March. Easy to justify and that covers 75% of the occupancy costs.

You wonder – How do we control, inspect, and do the paperwork? EASY, get the Bear to help out.

For your information attached is a list of Recommended Inventory you need to provide your renters.

Inventories rose from 369 to 384. My theory is that the increased sales pace firmed prices upwards in some Bundled Golf Communities, which led to a slight increase in willing sellers. The rate of sales below has not yet reflected the number of showings, which should generate additional sales in the coming weeks.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Reports

Our Northern residents seem all to have arrived at once. Welcome back! Inventory levels have risen again, from 333 units to 346 units. I was correct in predicting an increase in sales activity, based on the traffic we saw over the last weekend; however, it was still rather anemic with only 4 sales. I think this level of sales is a reflection of the economy, and that the only remedy will be a clear indication that the era of Hope and Change is over.

Important tips for your Laundry Dryer

These need to be cleaned out periodically, and as I found out the hard way, there are consequences if you DO NOT. Multi-family units usually have this done as part of Condo Maintenance; however single dwelling residences need to get someone up on the roof, and behind the dryer. For heaven’s sake, DO NOT ATTEMPT this yourself. I can recommend a licensed contractor who will do this for you, just e-mail me a request for their name.

Meeting of August 16th, 2011 with Bob Teschke, my reflections……….

First of all, let me preface that I am not trying to influence anyone to vote for or against. I had some very particular issues regarding the impact on property values. That was the primary reason for having this impromptu get together.

We had a very cordial meeting, and I was very impressed with the amount of due diligence, fact finding, and plain old hard work done by the LRP committee. I had a number of questions regarding some of the details of “why don’t we put the offices in this spot” or the meeting rooms. Bob had all of the facts down pat, and excellent justification for every detail in the plan.

My concern has always focused on what happens when an owner, one of us, decides to sell his unit. Does the buyer assume the liability, or does the seller pay it off?

1.When property is sold, there it is required that a Homeowners Association Disclosure signed by the seller and receipted and signed by the buyer be executed. Without this paperwork, the Buyer is free to cancel is obligation to “close”

2.It is also clear in our Naples Area Board contract that special assessment need to be paid off by the seller

Please look at bottom of Page 17 of the FAQ  (CLICK HERE]

BOTTOM LINE:

Does this modification to the by laws change the obligations of buyer and seller? I have not seen the actual legal document, nor am I an attorney, so I cannot have an opinion just yet.
