@Jack V. Ospina I've only heard good things about Sarasota, and understand there is a lot of uncovered opportunities down there. I hope to expand down there as well. Anywhere in particular in Sarasota?
@Dave Foster ONE is beautiful, love Vinoy Park. OSE is growing and growing. Haven't been privileged enough to do much in Roser and Campbell Parks. Will have to look further into those areas. I can't wait to see a big player make major moves into the beach area; lot's of opportunity to update.
@David Huynh Vast majority of St. Pete and Pinellas county are in flood zones. One area that isn't is historical St. Pete (Kenwood, Crescent Heights, etc.). However, each area has a different level of flood risk. In the worst of it, you'll want to have a raised structure house. In others, you'll end up paying just a slight premium for insurance. From what I can tell, the important thing to know is that more and more people are moving here every year, and it's only expected to increase in the years to come. $$$ :)
