Ok!! if i want realtors to promote to their lists in another state? 


Hellen, do you mean you want your Realtor to market in other states for your listing in SWFL? There's a standard syndication that goes out to sites like Zillow, Redfin etc that is included when it is listed in the MLS; hence why people can find properties from across the country.

If you are meaning you'd like your Realtor to spend marketing dollars targeting buyers in other areas, you'd need to discuss that with your Realtor. Depending on the price point, they may already be running targeted ads in cities/metros for buyers that may be looking for a second home/vacation home. I've done that for listings in higher price points. It comes down to the most effective use of a marketing budget. If your Realtor is anything like me, they want to spend any marketing funds where the most eyes will be.

Good Evening 

I'm interesting in finding a local lender in Shreveport with favorable terms. Credit unions and low downpayment options preferred. For mortgages less than $50k. Thank you for your input.


 Hey David, I have some local lenders in Shreveport that play around the 50k mark. I'm also a private lender; send a message and I'll get you connected with a few of the bankers I work with in Shreveport

Caio 

My name is Tom and am not in Miami - I'm in Naples florida and own a couple of condo's and my own house is on a canal near vanderbilt beach.

I am fed up with HOA fees and am looking to purchase a lot and then build . I am trying to educate my self on the ins and outs of purchasing a lot and any pitfalls you can warn me of . In addition any negotiation tactics I can use to when getting the best price.

Grazie 


 Good morning Tom! There are a number of things to consider when buying land in Naples to build on. If the sellers don't have a DEP report, you'll want one and it will determine how much wetlands is estimated to be on the property. Also, utilities are another factor along with a number of considerations. For example, I sold a 2.7 acre lot earlier this year in Golden Gate Estates for over 180k that was just raw land with a DEP report. I also just sold another lot on the 20th that was just over an acre, close to the 2.7 acre lot, for 128k. That lot already had the well, fill and fees paid for it. 

I wish it was as simple as buy the land, break ground and build; it's not the case though. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions, I'm in Naples and happy to help

Quote from @Isaac Kimsey:

I purchased an apartment complex near Shreveport last year. The insurance company that I used quoted my about 40% higher for the property than they had the previous year. the quote was for $11,345. We purchase the property for $750,000. This year quote came back at $19,536. This really surprised me as we have been in the process of renovating the property. There are 12 quads. We have replaced 5 roofs in 2023. I assumed this would, if not lower the insurance at least keep it around the same price.

Does anyone know an insurance agent in the Shreveport area I could reach out to. I just need to know what I need to do to lower my insurance premium.


 Hey Isaac, I'll send you a connection and some contacts for insurance in the Shreveport area I use
