Petersburg for over 30 years, I can attest that the last two big hurricanes caused significant damage, but they were the first in a long time.Condos and townhomes tend to perform well, especially if they're located on the Intracoastal Waterway or within 3-5 miles of the beaches.

Therefore, if you look at history, real estate has continuously performed in an upwards fashion while, like any other investment, has experienced short lived corrections from time to time.

Look, if you are looking for a bank with "no foreign wire fees" thats quite a stretch and I'd advise tossing that idea out as it will keep you on the sidelines.

After extensive technical review, your permit may be approved, but you might have to do inspections during the construction project.

Banks must approve a short sale for a short sale to take place, and banks hire appraisers and other real estate agents to perform broker price opinions (BPOs), or estimated values of the home.The goal would be to negotiate with the seller before the home becomes a short sale. 

Handle Legalities:Make sure you have all the permits required for the task you intend to perform.
