There has never been a better time to find affordable homes to add to your rental inventory, you can pick your price range.  Being curious about the deals that are out there, I did a search for homes under $20,000 in Pinellas county, I found 30.  Some needed more TLC than others, some were in need of total renovation, and there are similar properties in other counties as well.  The bank owned real estate is at bargain rates because they do not want to keep them in their inventory any longer. If you have always dreamed of being your own boss by owning lots of rental properties, now is the time. Those homeowners that have lost their properties to foreclosure will need a place to live, many will want to rent a home because apartment living no longer meets their needs.  And what about a beach front condo ? to use for fun weekends or out of town guests ?  The prices are great and there are lots of choices.  Then there is the country living,  if you are looking for a place to have a few horses or even a small farm, lots of trees, or a weekend getaway, there are numerous properties with acreage in Northern Pasco and other northern counties, worth the time to take a look. Just bring your boots, something I forgot to do during a recent farmland tour!   In any case, if you have a "dream" , give me a call and let's talk about how to make it a reality.
