Florida Struggles with Foreclosures - Buyer's Opportunities Galore

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey was recently quoted as saying the biggest challenge the system faces is "to keep morale up." In 2006 Miami-Dade saw 3,474 foreclosure cases. For the first six months of this year, they have handled 34,417. That's not a misprint.

The scary part is the first three months of this year, bankers were under a wink-wink order from Captain Obama to hold off on foreclosures . . . as if that would somehow help matters. It has not. In fact, Miami-Dade could see more than 50,000 foreclosures during the last six months of 2009, bringing the total close to 100,000 or almost 30 times what it was in 2006.


OPPORTUNITY - Banks are so screwed up at this point, that most of them are either over pricing properties, hoping for a miracle, or they are under-pricing properties . . . leaving HUGE opportunities for first time buyers, relocating buyers, investors and flippers. If you're interested in foreclosure opportunities, call me - Mike Morgan at 888-227-5217 or email me Mike@FloridaHomes.pro I'll help steer you around the traps and into profitable and secure opportunities.

Digital Design Studio in Port St. Lucie Gets Another Partner

Digital Domain, the award-winning Hollywood production studio will be a partner with Wyndcrest Holdings and Florida State University in their development of a digital design facility in Port St. Lucie at Tradition where the Torrey Pines Bio-Tech facility has big plans for the area. A recent study shows that the digital design project will create more than 6,100 jobs statewide and have a $480 million impact on the Florida economy.

Once again, these are the kinds of signs we have been looking for to eat up the inventory of homes in Florida and revitalize the economy.

FPL Turns On Mega Solar Plant - Martin County Solar Coming Soon

The nation's largest solar photovoltaic plant will power up on October 20th. I've written often about Florida Power & Light (FPL) and still have it as a Strong Buy for its overall involvement in alternative energy, including wind and solar. FPL also pays a handsome dividend.

The new solar center, the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, is in Acadia, Florida. And this is just one of three that FPL is building! Another one is being built in Martin County, and one at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

The Martin County facility will be the first hybrid solar thermal plant in the world, scheduled for completion in about a year. There are more than 600 construction workers on site at the Martin County facility, and FPL plans on continuing to hire.
