If you're looking for vacation alternatives, having your own little Miami getaway could be the answer! When heading out of town for a week or so with the family, the credit card bill can have lots of surprises at the end of the month. You may not have forgotten about the plane tickets or the hotel room, but you could easily have forgotten about the expensive meals two or three times a day.
You don't need to cut back on vacations or spending, however. What you need is place to call your own. No more outrageous hotel bills, no more unnecessary overpriced restaurant meals.
Check out some Miami Beach condos. Similar to the "time share" phenomenon of about twenty years ago, you can have your own condo complete with kitchen, bedrooms, phone, all utilities, and - all to yourself whenever you want!
Owning a condo as opposed to a time share has many advantages, especially the tax deductions. If you choose to rent it out when you aren't there, you could find yourself in a position where the condo literally pays for itself.
Even though Miami Beach has historically been noted as one of the most expenses stretches of real estate in the United States, this is a superb time to buy. When the housing bubble burst, the condo market simply imploded. Condos can be had for pennies on the dollar!
In many sections of Miami Beach you can find condos that had originally sold for $300,000+ that can be had for $100,000 or less. Find a Miami based real estate agent who works with local banks on their foreclosures and you might find the perfect condo for you and your family.
If you have never seriously considered owning property in Miami because it was out of your reach, this is the time to live your dream.
