Why should you consider buying a second home? Four reasons spring to mind: finances, fun, family and the future.

A rental property can boost your finances, giving you cash flow each month. A vacation home can be loads of fun, serving as a nice getaway spot for you and your loved ones. Many people buy property for family members, too, including investment buildings that are rented out and later sold when their heirs come of age. Lastly, you can buy a second home for your golden years, locking in your future retirement home at today's prices.

Oh, and there's one other reason to purchase a second home sooner rather than later: With the soft real estate market nationwide, right now you can get a real bargain on a home.

Of course, purchasing a house is a huge financial commitment, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. So here are some pointers to keep in mind if you do decide that a beautiful beachfront residence or even a cozy cabin in the woods is in your future.

Why work with me?

As a golfer, a boater, or someone who loves fishing and the sound of waves lapping the shores, or walking on our sugar - white sand..you won't find a coastal property area more beautiful than Alabama's Gulf Coast. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are the prime locations for a beach condo.

And....the we still have large areas of public beaches maintained by the State of AL, so the skyline is not totally populated with towering condos. Our area has considerably more undeveloped coast line than other coastal resort destinations such as Panama City, Seaside, Watercolor, Ft Walton Beach, or Destin, FL.

New building codes and regulations on condos and houses will bring more public beach access, parks and entertainment venues. Several condo developments on the back bays and intercoastal water areas offer some very unique opportunities for those that do not desire beach front. Bring your boat and explore some of our areas most beautiful waterways and islands. Also, boat storage and marinas are available at Zeke's and the Sportsmans Marina.

In short, there's no better time or place to invest than now in Alabama's Gulf Coast.

I will work hard to find the best coastal investment for you or help you sell your existing property.
