Coming to Florida for the Winter – Finding a Summer Home

The winter months inspire a flurry of movement south, and not just in animals. Many retirees interested in taking part in the condo rentals and sales in Florida are drawn to the warmth and comfort of the area, away from the snow and cold up north.

Brevard County, Florida, in particular, draws in interested renters and buyers for its proximity to the beach and its myriad of interesting wildlife.

Prospective Buyers

As a prospective buyer in this area of Florida, there are some pieces of buying information that will be helpful. From a cost perspective, Florida is a “High Closing Cost” state, meaning closing ends up costing a bit more than in other states.

This makes it important to have a representing agent on your side as you go through this process. It’s also important to consider whether you are interested in living in a deed protected community, as many neighborhoods are governed by a homeowner’s association.

Choosing to live in one of these communities could mean having to follow laws regarding what type of pets you can have, how your property is allowed to be used, or whether or not you can rent out your home.

Home inspections are also important here, with the soundness of the foundation needing to be checked, as well as any issues relating to soil, drainage, or erosion. Florida is a humid state, so mold needs to be checked for as well.

Prospective Renters

For the prospective renter, there are a few things to keep in mind while considering a move to Brevard County. Similar to a buyer, keep an eye out for mold or any signs that the property isn’t well maintained before signing a lease. Knowing the legal responsibilities of landlords in Florida can also assist you, should any tricky situations arise.

Of course, landlords are not allowed to discriminate against renters and must provide a legal written lease or rental agreement, just like landlords in other states, but specific laws, such as the requirement of 12 hours’ notice before entering a rental property, are good to know as well.

The Stunning Brevard County, Florida

Brevard County is perhaps most famous for stunning Cocoa Beach, but it also hosts a variety of other attractions.

Enjoy Brevard Zoo and all of the activities available at the Kennedy Space Center. Playalinda Beach is a perfect spot for a picnic, and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a great place to experience local wildlife in a safe capacity.

Head to Florida prepared with what you need to know as a prospective renter or buyer and all there is to do in this beautiful part of the country.
