Wanting to raise my hand, but moved from Delray Beach to Orlando a year ago and miss it terribly!!  Still considering investing in a rental in Delray Beach, Boca Raton or Deerfield Beach in the near future if we find a deal.

Hey there! My husband and I are looking for our first rental in the same area as you (Orlando/Winter Park near UCF, Valencia, or Full Sail). The problem we are running into are the abundance of HOA fees in our price point of under $90,000. Have you run into the same?

Way to go!  I'm looking in both the South Florida and Orlando area for my first deal of any kind.  Great you found a multi!

@Aaron T. thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the input @Kurt Kwart  So you're saying probably safe to invest and sell before everyone realizes what's happening?  More medium-term?

And yes, apparently saying global warming is like saying you're a Nazi supporter.  Didn't know that until I read the article!  I am not a real Floridian, so I can talk about reality (not to offend any true Floridians!)  Not that I blame them, it is a like an extended vacation down here ;)  

Yeah, not sure.  It sounds like South Florida would go first, and that is more North, but also right on the water so it's hard to say.  I'm seriously reconsidering investing here now, at least for long term.  Might have to look out of state!

Hey everyone,

I live in Florida and would love to start investing here soon, but I'm concerned about the not-so-far in the future rising water level that will likely leave us underwater.  Anyone else know about this who invests in Florida?  See this article for more info, and I was able to confirm what they are saying in multiple sources: http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/06/23/219903...

Sounds like it could happen in South Florida within 50 years.  And long term investing is my plan.

Thoughts?

@Alex Luciano Welcome!  I'm in the process of learning real estate to start to buy and hold residential properties next year.  I'm in the Orlando area, and while I'm not in the market for commercial real estate, just wanted to say hi and good luck!

@Bryston Wisekal 

@Karen P. is organizing a group meeting of CF investors from the site, I'm sure she can give you more details.

@Karen P. Excited to meet with everyone - it will be great!
