The Advantages of Buying Key West Waterfront Property Now!
With prices where they are right now, there's never been a better time to buy waterfront property in the Key West area.
Anyone who has ever been to Key West has at one point in their lives considered a life of relaxation with only the sound of the sea and the ocean breeze to worry about. While this may sound like an unobtainable form of paradise, with the current pricing, it is actually much more realistic than it seems. Here are several reasons.
1. A second home that generates income. For those who already own a home and are happy living where they are, waterfront property in Florida's popular Lower Florida Keys area can be a lucrative investment. Each year, thousands of tourists flock to Key West to soak up the sun. Because of this, waterfront rental properties generally take in good rental income. In fact waterfront properties are always the first to get rented.
So, by purchasing a piece of waterfront property and renting it out, you can have all or certainly part of your home payments made plus enjoy it as a vacation home. The goal being, that eventually, you'll be in a position to retire and live the relaxing life you've worked so hard to attain or the property will simply be a good investment for the future.
2. Waterfront properties have historically always had the best appreciation. If you’re on the fence regarding whether or not to purchase property, remember that.
I’m sure you’ve all heard the phrase, there is only so much waterfront property available-which is absolutely true.
3. Buying vacant land. Another consideration is purchasing a waterfront lot and then even if you don't build on it, the property can still grow in value over time or you can build your dream home later. Lots of investors have made their careers out of purchasing multiple vacant lots.
4. The current pricing. Waterfront property in the Key West area has never been cheaper than it is now and likely never will be again. The result is that people of all walks of life and nationalities are currently taking advantage of the Key West area housing market.
The only way to make sure you can even get your hands on a piece of waterfront property in the Key West area (and for less money than ever before) is to start looking now, while there are still excellent property investments available.
In summary, if you're in the market for waterfront property in the Key West area, there's no better time than now to buy. For more information please go to http://www.keywestpropertyforsale.com

FIVE TOP MISTAKES IN BUYING WATERFRONT PROPERTY
1. Not Understanding the importance of controlling Depth.
When buying waterfront property, both the actual value of the property and it’s usefulness as to boating are governed by controlling depth.
What is controlling depth?
It is the depth at which your boat can safely get to open water at average low tide. Another way to look at it is boating draft.
For example, most sailboats have at minimum a 4 foot draft—meaning they need at least 4ft of water to safely navigate without running aground.
So-If you own a sailboat or are ever considering the purchase of one, the waterfront property you buy has to have at least 4 feet of controlling depth.
How does this affect value?
People that own 50 ft boats and larger sailboats, that require 4 to 5 foot draft, will find that neighborhoods have controlling depths of 4-5 feet or more are typically more expensive as to real estate prices.
To Consider.
Even if you don’t own a boat, you may want to buy one in the future or will possibly have friends coming to visit that do have a larger boat. So first and foremost take Controlling depth into consideration.
2. Not knowing what types of Boats are allowed.
Generally there is no problem with pleasure craft, however jet skis and commercial fishing boats can be a problem based on neighborhood (subdivision) restrictions (if any)
For example: Many boating communities frown upon Jet Skis due to the noise. If you plan on using jet skis or having friends that use them, look into any restrictions.
The same thing goes for commercial boats.
3. Not paying attention to Flood Zones.
What type of Flood zone is the home you are buying?
For example flood insurance for a home in a VE will be triple that of a home in an AE zone. So one of the first things to find out is the Flood zone and then check with a local insurance company as to costs.
4. Using outside of the area lenders.
If you are buying waterfront property in Florida and are considering a lender in Colorado, you can have a problem. Why?
Because lenders outside of the state can place prohibitive restrictions on a property.
For example, some lenders will feel that any waterfront home bought in Florida needs to be constructed of Concrete block as opposed to wood frame, due to potential hurricane damage.
Be sure to talk to Local (at least State) lenders, as they will be familiar with the area.
5. Not determining area (county or subdivision) rental Laws.
If you are considering using your waterfront home as a rental, look into the area or subdivision zoning laws as to rental periods allowed.
For example-can you only rent monthly-every 6 months or are weekly rentals allowed. Whatever the law, it will make a big difference in both ease of renting and your potential income.
These are just some of the most important issues to seriously look into. As your Agent, I will help guide you through all of this.
