Selling your house through traditional means is a slow process to speak the least. More than that, it is really frustrating. There is this unpredictability factor looming large on your head all the time. This is because when you want to sell your house, even after hiring a real estate agent, the deal may drag on for months on end as a long sale chain develops which often gets longer and longer as the search for the potential buyer who can pay you a desirable price for your property, goes on. Needless to say, there can be disagreements on simple issues and the sale chain can collapse at any time.

This is surely not the best way if you want to sell house fast. There has to be a better way to take care of your situation, that is when you are desperately short on cash and you are looking forward to your house as a feasible option to liquidate your assets into flowing cash that can wash off your debts.

The quick sale agencies are there to help you give these special services. They have specialised professionals to deal with such situations. They understand the deadlocks of debt that can grab anyone. So not only do they guarantee you a quick house sale in the actual short time-frame as specified by you but also furnish you with free advice.

Basically, you are able to sell house fast. This quick service is made possible by the fact that they deal directly with you, while avoiding any sale chain. Not only do they have cash available with them but they also have all those time-consuming formal procedures fixed beforehand, which includes the part played by the surveyors and the solicitors. Your paperwork is considerably reduced while the focus is to get cash in your hands as soon as possible.



Repossession

Times are uncertain and times are fast. One may fall into debts due to dynamic spending habits, but then one may just as quickly, come out of it. Much of it depends on your assets. One of the best assets you have is your property which is your bounty for cash. If you have property, debts cannot harm you, so to say. And even if it comes to the worst such as house repossession, you have a way out. Sell house fast.

Yes, after all, why should you just lose your house? You can sell your house and collect the cash that can free you of your ordeals. But then, who has time today to go for a traditional house sale through an estate agent? The traditional means of house selling takes months, whereas fortunes can change within days.

Traditional house selling is no more preferable, when things have to be done at short lease, such as during a financial emergency phase in your life. Cash is the only thing that can alleviate your troubles, but for this you need to be assured of the same through a quick house sale. And these services provided by certain real estate firms prove to be of great help to you.

With these firms helping you to sell house fast, as such in the shortest time possible, as per your set timeline, which can range from just a week down to a single day, you can rest at ease. At the same time, they give you complementary services, such as free property valuation. And along the way, they also furnish you with free financial advice to help you get over the crunch situation. Ultimately, the goal of these firms is to help you to recover from your financially difficult situation. And they make sure that cash is not held back from your hands due to delay in selling your house by getting caught up in, say, a sale chain.



Quick House Sale

The following are frequently asked questions you should know the answers to before signing your new car leasing agreement.

Q. Can I trade my existing car in, what will it be worth and how will it affect the cost of my new lease car?

A. This can help lower the monthly payments on your new lease car. You need to know when the discount is applied and how much this will be as you may have to pay the full amount and claim it back later find out first! Make sure you know exactly how much trade-in value you are getting.

Q. What do I pay when signing the lease?

A. Find out all the costs and what they are before you sign on the dotted line for your new lease vehicle. There can be several charges that you haven’t thought of and you should know what each one is and when it needs to be paid.

Q. What free miles do I get, what happens if I go over this?

A. A typical lease car agreement will be for annual mileage between 10,000 and 15,000 miles.

After this you will be charged for every mile at a set rate per mile. Sometimes you can agree a lower rate than first offered this is important if you think you may go over the set mileage as costs can mount up on your lease car!

Q. If I can’t make a lease payment on my new car what happens?

A. Although this is unlikely you still need to find out what happens if you find yourself unable to make the payments on your lease car. Even if it is only a temporary change in circumstances involving one late payment make sure you know the consequences. Insurances such as Early Termination Insurance and Redundancy Insurance are available to cover all eventualities, please ask one of our sales team for further information on that.

Q. Can I hand my new lease car back early?

A. Typically if you have to hand the car back before the end of the lease agreement you will have to pay an early termination charge. Make sure you ask how much this could be. Again, insurances such as Early Termination Insurance and Redundancy Insurance are available to cover all eventualities, please ask one of our sales team for further information on that.

Q. How long is the lease?

A. Lease terms can vary anywhere between 1 year (12 months), two years year (24 months), three years (36 months) and even five years year (60 months). When you choose your lease term you should take into consideration the servicing schedules of the car as terms that go slightly over a 12 month period could end up costing you more in servicing charges e.g. a 39 month term instead of a 36 month term. Check the servicing schedule first!

Q. Can the lease be extended?

A. Not usually a problem but it is worth asking first as the monthly costs may go up. You do not want to be paying one fee for two years then when you decide to keep your lease car for another year to find that the monthly payment goes up.

Q. What happens at the end of the lease?

A. If you have ever wondered where all the cars go at the end of the lease the answer is the caution rooms. Main deals and independent car dealers by the ex-lease stock at trade prices and them sell it on to the public with their profit added. So if you are looking for a used car bargain, don’t visit your local dealer, go to the source and get down to your local car auction!

Q. Can I lease a used car and save money?

A. You can lease a used car but there are several points you should be aware of. The car usually has to be less than 24mths old, “VAT Qualifying” and covered less than 20,000 miles.

Your payment may be lower compared to leasing a brand new car because much of the depreciation will have already occurred. British manufactured cars are usually good value as used cars as they suffer heavy depreciation in the first 12mths. A car that is one or two years old is usually a good bet don’t buy something too old. Also check the residual value at the end of the term to make sure it is not too high.



Sell and Rent Back

This report is written for anyone interested in selling their property quickly.

Selling property can be one of the hardest and most stressful things you can do in your life. 90% of people sell through an estate agent so it must offer some advantages. So, should you do the same?

Well, it depends on time pressure you are under. When selling through an estate agent you will normally have to go through these stages:

1. You need to pay for and complete any renovation and refurbishment necessary (2-3 weeks)

2. You will need to conduct multiple viewings (4 to 8 weeks)

3. If your estate agent finds you a buyer, you will need to wait a few months for the buyer to arrange a mortgage (8 to 14 weeks)

4. If the buyer is in a chain, you will need to wait for their home to sell before yours can be purchase (2-3 weeks)

This can take between 4 to 7.5 months! That is a long time! It is a also a sad fact that 1 in 3 chains break down at the last moment due to buyers pulling out. It only takes one person to pull out and the whole chain falls apart.

How to sell in less than 4 months

However, even with these obstacles in mind it is still possible to sell your home in less than 4 months by these following tips (and having luck on your side):

1. Get a reliable, reputable agent.

2. Finish off any necessary DIY jobs

3. Thoroughly clean and de-clutter you home

4. Depersonalise your house and go neutral

It is worth remembering, “buyers are not looking to buy property. What they’re really looking to buy is a better life - property just happens to be the way they’ll get it”

The problems with Estate Agents

In response to many complaints about estate agents the Office of Fair trading conducted a study and found serious concerns over the way estate agents serve the public.The consumer group Which? has also conducted research and found evidence of serious violations of the law and a massive 50% of consumers voicing dissatisfaction over the service received from their estate agent. They said:

“Consumers entering the home-buying or selling process are substantially disadvantaged by the way estate agents currently operate”

Now, in fairness there are some great estate agents out there but they seem to be hard to find. Will you be lucky enough to uncover a good agent? Are you prepared to pay 1.5 - 2.5% +VAT (i.e. the price of a new kitchen) to find out?

So what it the alternative??

One of the more popular alternatives if you need a quick sale is using a specialist home buying company to help you. They can purchase your property directly from you with out the need to go through an estate agent.

Selling Fast to Cash Buyers & “Sell and Rent Back” Specialists

First things first, it is important that you understand that using a specialist property buying company should only be considered if your need for a quick sale is greater than your need to sell for the best price.

Typically you find yourself in need of house buying specialist if:

1. You are in financial difficulties

2. You are being threatened with repossession

3. You would like to sell your property & rent it back

4. Your chain has collapsed and you’re totally desperate to sell

5. You need money quickly and remortgaging is not an option

6. Bereavement or divorce means you need to move-on as quickly as possible

7. You’ve inherited property that you want to cash-in quickly

8. You’re emigrating and your property is proving difficult to sell

How Quickly Can Quick Cash Buyers Act?

Exchange of contracts can take anywhere between a few days and 3- 4 weeks. Completion can then be fixed to suit you but the norm is completion within 3-4 weeks.

How Much Can You Expect to Sell for?

Anywhere between 75-85% of your properties open market value (80% is the average). Open market value is the price a property would sell on the open market within 3 months. This is typically less than the price estate agents advertise properties at as they expect to make offers.

So, the main service home buyer service can offer you is speed and a guaranteed sale.

Certainty and speed are rare commodities when selling property. For this service you have to be willing to sell at a discount. That is why they will buy your property between 75%-85% if its market value.

What other benefits can these companies provide?

A good company will offer to:

1. Pay your legal fees (up to GBP 500 which normally covers

them all)

2. Pay any survey and valuation fees

3. Allow you to stay in the property after selling (rent back)

4. Meet their promises on price and completion date

5. Adhere to some Code of Practice from a recognized body such as the National Association of Sale and Rent Back (NASRB).

A Word of Warning!

Beware of any company that does not offer the benefits above. Some companies charge for valuation fees regardless whether they buy the property or not. Also beware of companies that string you along and then reduce their offer at the last minute when you are at your most desperate.



Repossession

Businesses have their own ups and downs. Problems brought about by the nature of their business are sometimes hard to avoid. Lost of profits and bankruptcy are just one of the common fears of business owners. Saving businesses means that owners need to have several solutions in mind. This is where commercial mortgages come in. To know more about the ins and outs of these financial solutions, read the following paragraphs:

What is a commercial mortgage?

Although its name may imply a negative feeling, a commercial mortgage is just a type of loan. People get these commercial mortgages when they feel cash-strapped. In a commercial mortgage, a business (or commercial) property is used as collateral.

Loan institutions appraise the value of the collateral and evaluate the loaner’s income to determine the amount of money they can lend. Most of the time, these financial institutions also check the credit reputation of the loan applicant. So, people who intend to apply for commercial mortgages must build a good credit standing.

Although a commercial mortgage may imply that funds will be used for businesses, this has not always been the case. Borrowers still have the freedom to decide on where they will use the funds they got from the commercial mortgage they obtained.

What are the types of commercial mortgages?

Banks and other financial institutions offer various types of commercial mortgages that borrowers can choose from. As a matter of fact, people can categorize commercial mortgages according too its duration and interest types.

In terms of duration, a commercial mortgage can be a:

· Short-term loan

Also known as an interim loan, a short-term commercial mortgage usually lasts two years. Borrowers who can critically estimate the time they can pay the loan go with short-term loan as they are sometimes quicker to process. Depending on the borrower, the duration of the loan may or may not affect the amount of money that can be borrowed.

· Long-term loan

Depending on the duration of the loan, a long-term loan can also be considered as a short-term loan by some financial institutions. But as a basic rule, commercial mortgages that last for a minimum of three years are considered to be long-term loans. Property and real estate developers also offer long-term loans. In such case, they might require collateral that is of high-value.

Who should get a commercial mortgage?

As earlier stated, business owners are usually the ones who take a chance in commercial mortgages. But generally speaking, commercial mortgages are for people who own commercial properties. They just need to prove that they have the capability and resources to pay for their would-be loans.

Commercial mortgages are the easiest way out of financial problems. However, this does not mean that one should immediately jump into the option. One should bear in mind that getting a commercial mortgage is also synonymous to obtaining a responsibility—an obligation that he or she must comply to. Just like any other life encounters, the decision to get a commercial mortgage must be carefully thought of.



Repossession

According to ABC news, more than 2.3 million American homeowners faced foreclosure proceedings last year, which was an 81 percent increase from 2007. And as of March 2009, about 5 million are currently in default, or at least one month behind, on their mortgage.

So does it have to be all “Doom and Gloom” or are there REAL solutions for homeowners facing this stress? The truth of the matter is there are several solutions to this problem, but it is very common for homeowners to not be aware of all their options. Foreclosure is NOT the only possible outcome. Neither is listing with a Realtor to try to sell fast. Neither is trying to get refinanced.

So if payments are behind on your Austin Texas home, what are your options?

In times like these, most homeowners believe they only have 4 options:

List with a realtor (But do you have time to wait for it to sell? What if it doesn’t sell? No Equity?) Refinance (Thousands of homeowners try only to be turned down because they are behind in payments, have less-than-perfect credit, or have little-to-no equity! And it would cost at least $4,000-5,000 to refinance the average Austin Texas home.) Reinstate your loan (Do you have the amount of $$$ your lender is asking for?) Do nothing and just let the bank foreclose on it (There are many better options, and they can be EASY, too! Plus, if the foreclosure sale is not enough to pay off the mortgage in full, the lender can still come after the borrower for the difference. Yikes!)

But WAIT! There’s a 5th option! = Sell your Austin Texas house to us! We are THE fast Austin Texas Home-Buyers, RedBuysHouses.com. We’re a local, professional real estate investment group that buy houses all over Austin, TX in any area, condition or price range (even no equity) and in virtually any situation.

We specialize in finding several CREATIVE solutions to real estate problems that others won’t touch.

So, if your payments are behind, the last thing you’d want to do is NOTHING!…Sadly, when times are tough, many homeowners don’t know what to do. Many, many houses have been foreclosed on in recent months because homeowners are not aware of the many alternatives to foreclosure or because:

they expect some money will be found/earned/won/inherited/borrowed to make up back payments in time (Since this isn’t likely, why not at least learn what the other, readily available options are to have a Plan B ready?) they’re embarrassed by the situation. (PLEASE…Don’t let this be the reason you don’t do anything. Things happen in life that can make payments late, and RedBuysHouses.com understands that and wants to help!) they’re afraid and unsure of who to trust (Again, there are trustworthy people out there who want to help…RedBuysHouses.com is an Accredited business with the Better Business Bureau and works with an experienced team of house-buyers who have helped THOUSANDS of homeowners during tough times!) their lenders don’t return any of their phone calls. If they send in any partial payments, it is very common for the lender to send it back. (Dealing with lenders can be very frustrating and confusing!) they didn’t think the bank would “really” foreclose on their house. (Remember, if you get behind on payments and do not do anything, your lender WILL foreclose on your house, even if you have a good relationship with them.) they were not aware that there was help available. (If you remember anything from this article, know that there is help available for you.)

Passive Income

Having just completed the Canyon Leasing Training program (www.CanyonLeasing.com) I am embarking on building my own Leasing Company. In hopes of developing relationship with small business the acquire equipment I have outlined the benefits of leasing in this article.

While 80% of all US businesses have leased equipment at one time or another, some may not be aware of the benefits, nor of the hidden costs involved with leasing. Sometimes leasing equipment, instead of buying it, can be the best option for your business.  However, there are many variables that should be considered, including costs, use restrictions, and legal implications.

Leasing operating equipment, such as computers, vehicles, and machinery, often makes more sense than buying. However, while favorable leases are often good bets, unfavorable ones can easily sink an emerging venture. While doing your legal homework can help prevent bad deals, it’s always a good idea to have a lawyer look over a lease before signing it.

Benefits of Leasing Equipment

1.      Leasing is Flexible.

Companies have different needs, different cash flow patterns, and sometimes irregular streams of income. For instance, startup companies typically are characterized by little cash and limited debt lines. Mature companies might have other needs - to keep debt lines free, to comply with debt covenants, and to avoid committing to equipment that may quickly become obsolete. Therefore, your business conditions - cash flow, specific equipment needs, and tax situation may help define the terms of your lease. Moreover, a lease provides the use of equipment for specific periods of time at fixed rental payments. Therefore, leasing allows you to be more flexible in the management of your equipment.

2.      Leasing can be Cost-Effective.

Equipment is costly and some of the costs are unexpected. When you lease, your risk of getting caught with obsolete equipment is lower because you can upgrade or add equipment to best meet your needs. Further, your equipment needs can change over time due to changes to your company, such as diversification. Leasing allows you to stay on the cutting edge of technology.

3.      Leasing Has Tax Advantages.

Rather than deal with depreciation schedules and Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) problems, you, the lessee, simply make the lease payment and deduct it as a business expense.

4.      Leasing Helps Conserve Your Operating Capital.

Leasing keeps your lines of credit open. You don’t tie up your cash in equity. Also, you avoid costly down payments. With other advantages such as off-balance sheet financing, leasing helps you better manage your balance sheet.

Although leasing does provide benefits to business owners, there are hidden costs to deal with, and business owners need to be aware of such costs.

Hidden Costs of Leasing

1.      Non-Cancellable Agreement

When entering into a lease contract, the business owner agrees to make all the lease payments to the end of the term. While there is no penalty for early payoff, the full payments are normally required to pay off the lease early.

2.      Document Fees

These fees are administrative costs due upon signing the lease and range from $50 to as much as $350 or more, depending upon the complexity of the lease contract and size of the transaction.

3.      UCC-1 Fees

These are fees required by the Secretary of the State where the equipment is being leased. The fee is usually is a one-time percentage that is due upon signing the lease documents.

4.      Taxes

In most states, there is a tax on goods purchased. Some states tax at 5 or 6%, or more. The tax is factored into the lease payments, so be prepared to calculate this cost, as it could increase your monthly lease payments $20 or more per month depending upon the total cost of the equipment, and the state of purchase.

5.      Insurance

A section in the lease documentation will require that the equipment be covered by insurance. Here the leasing company is protecting their interests. They want to make sure they will be fully compensated for the equipment in the event of fire, theft, flood, etc. Most business owners will already have adequate insurance on their building to cover such equipment (if it is contained and used inside). However other companies using more portable equipment (such as lift trucks, golf carts, hydraulic lifts, bulldozers, etc.) may need to take out additional insurance to assure adequate coverage.

The bottom line is that when you are deciding to lease equipment, be certain you are aware of all costs involved with the transaction. Then balance them against the benefits to choose the appropriate choice for you and your business.

Commercial real estate that offers a shop, office or other commercial use in one or more units and an apartment or living space in other units is considered a mixed-use property. Because of this, obtaining loans and financing is a little different than going strictly after a small business loan or home loan. Mixed-use commercial mortgage loans offer consumers a variety of flexible financing options that address all types of scenarios and needs.

One of the benefits of mixed-use commercial property lending is low and, often, no points. Griffin Capital offers different types of commercial mortgage loans for these types of property such as low document loans, loan document, as well as stated income loans. In most cases, large balance of loans, ranging from $ 1,000,000 - $ 7500000, we will set the terms, as well as commercial mortgage terms of 25 and 30 years. Various types of security and cost are available to ask which set different terms.

Small balance mixed-use commercial mortgage loan are generally considered to be the size from $ 250,000 - $ 1,000,000. As with more balanced mixed-use commercial mortgage loans, the rate and cost guarantees are available as are commercial mortgages of up to 25 years.

Major mixed-use commercial balance in general, the loans are offered for properties that are considered medium to large, and companies must meet several requirements and qualifications that are determined by Griffin Capital.

Mixed use which cover the loans, retail, offices, residential spaces and must contain at least one business unit and a least one residential unit in order to qualify. Mixed-use loans can be used for the purchase and refinancing of commercial property. In most cases, adjustable, 5 and 10 years fixed-rate terms are available with 25 to 30 years amortization…

A mixed-use property refinancing loan allows borrowers to use their money to participate in the improvement of ownership, expansion, investment, in addition to the improvement of business and improved properties. Lower payments over the loan terms longer allow consumers and borrowers to gradually build equity in their own pace.

Commercial real estate mortgage programs such as mixed-use commercial loans are offered in 50 states and the District of Columbia by Griffin Capital.

Quick Property Sale

If you are unable to pay off your mortgage, but still wish to live in your current home, then you could benefit from a consultation with a “sell to rent back” specialist. Typically, when you are unable to pay off your mortgage, you must either sell your home to pay off the mortgage or allow your home to be repossessed. Of course, selling your home would require you to move out and find another place to live. However, selling to rent back is an excellent option that many people are unaware of.

Selling to rent back allows you to sell your home quickly and with less stress. A specialized company would own your home and rent it back to you, allowing you to stay on the property. You would avoid stress and have the option to buy back in the future.

The process of selling to rent back would begin online, where you would fill out a quick form provided by any rent back specialist. In 24 hours, you would have an informal verbal quote for your home, which would be a rough indication for how much your home would sell for. If you think that you want to proceed, you would invite a representative over to talk through the process and present a written quote. When the written quote is presented, you will also be told what your monthly rent would be and how much the home would cost you to buy back when your financial situation improves. The quote, rent, and buy back prices should all be a custom tailored to your personal financial situation.

Selling to rent back is very different from selling your home through a typical real estate agent, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each. The biggest advantage of selling to rent back is remaining in your home. There are many reasons to stay in your own home, and if that’s what you want, you can make selling to rent back work for you. However, you will not usually be offered the full value of your home. This can be mitigated by the fact that there are far fewer fees when selling to a rent back specialist. Real estate agents almost always charge a percentage of the selling price of the home in exchange for their services, so selling to rent back could allow you to save on those fees, which can add up to be quite large. Another possible problem with selling through a real estate agent is that your home could spend a long time on the market, and might not sell at all. If your main concern is avoiding repossession, selling on the open market could take too long.

If you choose to sell to a rent back specialist, the sale could be completed within just a few weeks. The company would even work with you to stop any repossession or eviction proceedings. There could be time to save your home, even if you have already received an eviction notice or been taken to court. However, the sooner you take steps to keep your home, the better chance you have of success.

If you have a family and have never taken them to experience the wonders of Florida, you really do not know what you are missing.

With its enviable climate which boasts over 300 days of sunshine each year, Florida is not known as the “Sunshine State” for nothing! Add to this the countless numbers of theme parks, water parks, film studios, golf course and shopping malls and no wonder this part of the USA has become one of the most popular holiday and vacation destinations to be found anywhere in the world.

Without doubt, the best way to see this fabled state is by basing yourself in one of the many holiday homes, villas or holiday vacation rental properties, which can be found all over the state.

One of the main reasons behind Florida’s popularity is of course due to the fact that during the late 1950’s, Walt Disney chose to build the now iconic Disney World entertainment theme park complex in Orlando and the surrounding areas.

This has given Orlando the well earned tag of “entertainment capital” of the world and as anyone who has been there will tell you, there is simply no other place like it for the sheer scale and variety of entertainment and things to do for people of all ages, size and background, for children, teenagers, young couples and, of course, families.

However many attractions there are to be found in Orlando, there are many other places and resorts just waiting to be discovered throughout the whole of this State. Wherever you may choose to visit and stay, my advice is to consider renting one of the many holiday homes and holiday villas which are available to rent directly from the owners. From coastal communities in St Petersburg or Sarasota, to resorts such as Hampton Lakes, Bradenton or Tuscan Ridge in the pleasant suburbs of Orlando- you will be amazed at the quality and choice on offer.

Renting a holiday home or a holiday villa, allows you far more freedom to plan and organise your vacation to suit the needs and desires of your family. Renting a holiday property or other form of self catering accommodation allows you to come and go as you please, to eat and drink what you want when you want - in essence it is a true ” home from home” experience. There are holiday villas to rent with their own private pools set in beautifully manicured and gated communities as well as holiday homes and vacation rental properties which back onto superb championship quality golf courses. If you are a golfing enthusiastic you will be simply overwhelmed by the sheer numbers, variety and quality of the golf courses which Florida has to offer?

But Florida is not only about Disney World and its numerous theme parks, water parks, movie studios, designer and themed hotels,far from it. Florida covers a land mass of over 58,000 square miles and offers an amazing range of attractions to explore and enjoy.

Drive west down one of the many Interstates and you will arrive at the Gulf coast resorts of St Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater. These communities are full of the most beautifully appointed and spacious holiday homes, holiday villas and all manner of vacation rentals which you can rent for as many weeks of the year as you wish.

Continue a little further South and you will happen upon Naples with its pristine beaches and warm seas and the Everglades National Park which is where you will find the natural habitat of the oldest of Florida residents -the manatee, alligator and crocodile.

At the very bottom of the state, just 50 miles off the coast of Cuba, are the fabled Florida Keys. At the southern most tip of Florida lie the Florida keys - a string of little islands linked by amazing bridges which seem to hover over an impossibly turquoise blue sea. You will be forgiven for thinking that you have now arrived in the Caribbean, as so different is the laid back atmosphere which pervades these magical islands.

Compare this with the largest city in the State, Miami, where Spanish is spoken almost as widely as English. Unlike most cities in the USA, Miama is closer to Havana than it is even to Orlando, as a result the Spanish and Latin American cultural impact on this city is to be found and experienced whereever you go.If you are looking for vibrant city living, exuberant night life and that “shop till you drop” kind of experience then Miami has little in the way of equals.

If you should ever tire of the central belt of Florida which is Orlando, take a day out to visit the Atlantic coast on the East side of the State. Head out to the Atlantic coast and enjoy the fun of surfing in huge rolling Atlantic breakers at the same time you can spend time marvelling at the wonders of the Space Center at Cape Canaveral. For a taste of real,down to earth coastal America, head for Coco Beach where you can drink Budweiser eat delicious key lime pie on the pier which juts out into the tempestuous Atlantic surf!

Truly, Florida is an amazing “must ‘go-to” place. But avoid staying in hotels and motels if you can. Renting a new and well appointed spacious holiday home or villa or vacation rental property or for that matter any other form of self -catering accommodation will give you and the family the freedom to come and go as you please which will allow you to make the most of what the “Sunshine State” has to offer.
