If anyone can recommend a good person to talk to about south florida real estate in general, please link them on here

So I am moving to a new area and will be looking for new banks to work with- I know I want a local bank that can work my situation vice something that fits into the Federal cookie cutter system.  Does anyone have a good list of things they look for when searching new banks to use for loans?

Sounds like you already have an idea it is a waste.  Besides, things like that make a house sell faster, not necessarily increase the value.

It may sound crazy, but riding my bicycle to work would be a big plus for me.  Again, I haven't been there but get the stories of one road and 35mph.

Yeah big pine is what I was considering, but I hate driving.

You might want to consider at least 8 units if you are going to use commercial lending.

Thanks @David Krulac

I see a lot of the same.  I am going to leave there regardless, so the high prices are likely something I will need to endure.  I thought of 2 islands to the north since the prices are drastically lower, but I really hate a long commute.  I plan to get down there this summer to check it out.

I have accepted there are no active investors on bp from Key West, so just looking to link up w/ anyone familiar w/ the area.

it's official.  I will be moving to key west in 9 months, but know no one there so I am hoping bp can ramp by learning curve.  Looking for recommendations on everything: loan officers, agents, closing attorney, and even simple things like local real estate sites, neighborhood advice and input.  Does the island have small apartments or 2 to 4 units?  Everything looks small, open to all information, let me hear you key west nation.

thanks john.  Apparently there is already lines buried bringing water and electric to the slab in the back.  We are going to call utilities and dig around.
