Maribeth Cantwell Realtor at Illustrated Properties located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida has recently become certified as a Residential Investment Specialist with the support of Greg Rand and his educational website Own America.  As having worked with investors interested in the Florida Real Estate Market, Maribeth Cantwell recognizes the exciting opportunity especially for those wanting a long term investment. 

Although many people may think the real estate market in Florida is broke, properties are moving and many of them being purchased by people from outside the United States.  According to NAR (National Association of Realtors), foreign investment in US real estate has increased by 20% in the 12 months ending march 2011, totaling $82 billion in just one year.  In fact, half of all transactions are made with cash and approximately one in four homes is purchased by an investor.

Why the interest?  Homeownership rates have fallen which has translated into more than 4 million new rental households in just the past few years.  According to the Census, 1.4 million between July 2010 and June 2011, so this trend is accelerating. 

Investors realize America is still the best place in the world to acquire personal property and know it is protected by law.  They recognize the fact that home ownership rates are coming down and rental household creation is going through the roof. In addition, they see rental rates being pushed up by this increased demand. They see, in short, a huge opportunity!
