Hello everyone my wife and I are looking into buying a lot in Lehigh acres for investment purposes but we really do not know if this would be a smart business decision at this time. 

Think 10 years down the road and you will likely make better decisions. 

Your decision should balance financial prudence with your long-term goals.

As home owners, business owners or investors, how are these kinds of trends impacting your decisions right now?

I would do the condo-ing as David, even doing the replatting, they are sharing space they might need to form an association at the end, so going to that from the beginning seems to be the right decision.

Wow, what a mistake that decision was.2007 hit FL like a ton of sh.. and investors and property owners were running for the doors.

Of course, you have to make the decision for you and your family, and only you will know what's truly best.

While I can get information on this question online, such as brick is obviously more durable and long lasting have a better resale value than vinyl, I'm still struggling to make the decision on which property to go with.There is a quadplex vinyl exterior property for 210 per unit versus brick exterior property with wooden deck in the backy for 230 per unit in middle Tennessee.
