Who’s Mortgage Are You Paying?

Rent or Buy, Either Way You’re Paying a Mortgage

Is paying a mortgage better than paying rent? I’m often asked if I should rent or buy a home in Naples Florida. Rentals are very challenging to find and rental rates continue to rise. If you are looking for a rental in a golf community it’s even more difficult to find one at a good rate. If you vacation in our area you may be better off buying a home even if you’re paying a mortgage.

So, if you’re ready to put your housing costs to work for you, maybe it’s time to become a homeowner. Let’s connect to determine if moving from renting to buying is right for you.

Begin Your Own Property Search:

So, if you’re ready to begin your search for your dream home or condo in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero or Fort Myers area, I encourage you to explore our website to find information about communities in Southwest Florida. If golf is your game, we specialize in golf community real estate and would be happy to help you navigate the more than 150 plus different golf communities in our area. If you prefer a more direct approach, I will provide a list of properties that meet your criteria and/or communities that meet your needs.

Bottom Line:

If you are buying a home in a golf community, you will find it’s more complex than a typical home purchase. As you can probably imagine, there are significant differences between golf communities. There are many different fee structures, membership options, pet restrictions, demographics and many other details that apply to the SWFL golf communities.

Also, if you are considering new construction, remember the contractor’s real estate agent represents the builder’s best interest, not yours. There is no cost to you to have an agent represent you. In fact, I may be able to help you save money and negotiate for extras which the builder may not let you know about.
