Some things to consider are how to hold title to the property, tax implications and restrictions on renting contained in association documents, etc. Again, this will depend on the location of the property and the specific property that you are considering purchasing. Please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Each association has its own rules governing the leasing of units in the development. Some limit the number of renters one may have in a year. In addition, if you have short term lease, you may be liable to the State of Florida for sales tax (similar to a VAT) on the rental.

We would be happy to speak with you about the purchase of the property. We offer a free initial consultation.
