Today marks the second time in the last three days that I have been asked about real estate investing seminars.  It seems that some unscrupulous builders are hiring marketing firms to create seminars for real estate investors.  These seminars paint a picture of exploding growth in Port Charlotte Real Estate, which nearly every Florida Realtor would agree is in a slump.  These seminars aren’t local; they are given to investors well out of the area, in these two cases, one in Ireland, the other in North Carolina.

During these seminars, the marketing firms tell you how much money can be made by purchasing one of their criminally overpriced pre constructions.  It seems that there are some great incentives such as 2 years no interest and 2 years no payments.

You have to ask yourself, if it is such a great deal, then why are these guys coming all the way to Ireland to peddle their properties?  It would seem that if they were truly giving great deals like they are letting on, local investors would beat a path to their door.

The moral of the story is this, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.  Remember folks, every reputable builder in this area welcomes clients and their Realtors.  You will get the same price on the home if you have a Realtor or not.  So why not use a Realtor that is knowledgeable in preconstruction to help you choose the right builder?  You can only gain by his or her expertise and have nothing to lose!  If you need help deciphering whether or not you are getting a good deal on a preconstruction, feel free to contact us and we will be happy give you our honest opinion!
