Perspectives on the Investment Property Market in Florida

A view from a Yield Investor on the market in Orlando

When planning our annual family holiday, my long-suffering wife has to balance her needs for good weather / shopping with my interest in going to somewhere with a yielding property market. This has resulted in a lot of Scottish holidays in the early years of our marriage, followed up by Germany and eastern Europe for the last few years. I have to say, my wife has compromised heavily on holiday weather on occasion. I am not sure how I got away with so many Leipzig ‘holidays’ in the last few February half-terms, having family fun in minus 20 conditions. I am still unclear why my wife stays with me, she is 10 years in now, I am sure she has her reasons. So it was a pleasant diversion for the family (in particular my wife) this year to go to balmy Florida for Easter for holiday, from where this rambling “postcard” comes.

For the past 20 years Florida has been a part of the world that is very familiar to us to be fair, my brother and sister have lived there since the 1990s and so have my mum and dad on and off (until my dad fell out of a tree, another story). And so, we have visited many times to visit family, and seen the journey my family and friends have had in property over this time and have some perspective on the market. Why I am tapping this away from a cramped economy return seat on Virgin Atlantic is to jot some ideas down, hopefully for some interest to investors looking at the market or just looking how property markets develop in general. I have watched with keen interest the market develop from a relative affordable base in the mid 1990s, through rapid growth each time I revisited until 2006. And this is my 3rd trip back during this financial crises. But the real raison d’etre for looking more deeply into this market was provided by a cockney fellow I overheard on the telephone , apparently to his wife. It was day 2 of the recent London Property Exhibition, and it seems he had made an acquisition:

“You sittin’ down luv? Well me and Dave popped into some property thing after going to the body builder show” [The London Excel was hosting 2 exhibitions thus weekend, for what you thought was a mutually exclusive audience]

“Well, guess what I bought today? You’re never going to guess…”
