Running into some road blocks, trying to fix, may have to go with my local mortgage broker that has a home office in Florida, Mackinac.http://www.mackbank.com/

Sales at City Palms

Six (6) units in the last last two weeks.  Considering the volatility in the stock markets, low interest rates, low housing prices and strong rental market--could we be at a turning point?

FInancing-- TD Banknorth

Working with TD Bank and Arthur Mitchell in Florida.     Very smooth process all the documents on-line that we sign on-line, while a few documents we need to print and sign.    Very very easy process???  Let's hope the approval is as easy, we get a good rate and we close timely.   

Closing Agent

After our offer was accepted, I asked the salesperson, Niki Piersall, for the name of a lawyer that I could use?  She proceeded to tell us that they do not use lawyers in Florida for real estate transfers, but instead closing administrators?

In this case, Felberbaum & Associates.    Will let you know how it goes and what I think..

Right in the middle and close to everything

Offer Accepted

After years of Vanessa and I looking for a 2nd home in Florida, we have finally decided on the City Palms in West Palm Beach, Florida unit 203.   After a couple weeks of negotiations the offer has been accepted.

Over the past 5 years, we have checked out tons of properties, but in the end this was our favorite.  Although I am not a big fan of condos, it makes sense with us being in Massachusetts.   Since this is a brand new building, there should not be alot of assessments over the next ten years.  Most importantly the developer, Carlyle Group , has deep pockets.

Favorite part about this place is that it is a cab ride from the airport and sits right on City Place--West Palm version of Faneuil Hall.
