This new update covers things like...
Higher interest rates
The first challenge for some people retiring to Florida and buying homes these days is higher interest rates than we've seen in recent years. For about 50% of new Florida retirees, this doesn’t matter because they’re paying cash. But for the other 50% there is
some relief available, and I’ll tell you how and where to find it.
Insurers leaving the state
In prior editions of the
book, I’ve written about the “minefield” that is homeowners insurance in Florida. Some of the problems have been caused by Mother Nature, but many of the problems have been man made. This year the big news is that we’ve seen a number of insurance companies pull out of the state all together, leaving hundreds of thousands of homeowners in the lurch. But despite what you may have read or heard, it IS still possible to get reasonable homeowners insurance here in Florida, you just have to go
about it in the right way, which I’ll tell you all about in the book.
Rising costs of living
There’s no denying that the cost
of living has gone up no matter where you live, and the same is true in Florida. But just like real estate, finding the lowest cost of living is all about Location, Location, Location. In the 2024 Florida Retirement Handbook I’ll show you the places where you can still find a better than average cost of living (that you’d actually want to live in!), and some places you might want to steer clear of if budget is a concern.
New 55+ Communities
Despite the obvious headwinds, developers are moving forward with bringing new 55+
communities to the market. In the 2024 Florida Retirement Handbook I highlight about a dozen new communities that have opened or will open soon that you might want to check out.
Remember, the pre-order window will only be
open for a limited time because I have to get my orders in to the printer soon, so grab your copy now and save.
Talk soon,
Ryan
