I use the Bureau of Statistics to find figures for job growth and population increase.

I finally sold it for a small fraction of what I paid for it, but I was out from under the HOA fees and taxes which at about $1,700. per year, which is a sizeable sum for me, and as we know, these fees increase every year.Bottom line is, DO NOT purchase property there for an investment. 

This is with a 4.75% increase increase in occupancy. 

There might be Some exceptions such as you did a bunch of repairs/improvements which increased the value of your home .

I figure as the area is growing and there are more people moving to the area it will increase the values.

Hey Michael,Appreciation potential due to economic dev/population growth/job growth.MTR / Corporate rental ratesMore velocity potential on our $$ in 2025. 

I would love to keep it as a rental but at this time I think it would take too long for the rent values to increase enough to make sense Worst case scenario is I have to hold the home for an extended period if the market decreases short term. 

You can overcome this by putting more down, which reduces you ROE and COC return, but if the appreciation is good enough you can make up for this with overall returns over time as rents increase and the property appreciates.

It just perpetuates the cycle of insurance and cost of living increases here in Florida.

Instead of buying trips or hotels for ordinary point values, learn how to increase the value of your points and stretch your dollar farther.It's an inexpensive e-book.
