I am surprised you can find a condo with gulf access and a water view for under 200. Where is this?

These are a few of the gulf access communities we will look at come December 2019...You really have to dig but they are out there...

From everything I have been told, you should avoid North Fort Myers, but I am sure a blanket statement doesn’t always hold true

It would be really nice. We do have condos, they are around $175 but we do not have gulf access. You would get around $3400 a month rental during season.

Why do people say that, do you know?
I really don’t know, but many people won’t buy even in Fort Myers, or just in the south part. But even in 2003 we were warned against north Fort Myers

I wonder why North Fort Myers has such a bad reputation?

I don’t know, but I suggest you do a lot of driving around surrounding areas anywhere you look. And maybe Sea Six could chime in, he has lived here longer than us.

When we were looking in 2003 we could have bought a condo in Naples along rattlesnake hammock for well under $100000. Glad we didn’t because we played golf and the communities along the golf courses were really sketchy. Wouldn’t have noticed from the road.
Someone we know owned one and when the hurricane damage occurred they had a huge special assessment because they had no reserves.
A friend who is raising grandkids built north of colonial in fort Myers, a beautiful home in a beautiful subdivision but he is sorry he built in that location , I think maybe crime problems but not sure.

My aunt bought a condo in Naples in the development called Port of the Islands and she loves it there...I really like the area and the development there...

Does it have anything to do with the abandoned hotel?

I remember passing it. It is really far out, but it looks nice.

I don't golf and the big requirement for me is a water view and gulf access. I love to fish. I tried golfing in college and never could get the hang of the sport

I think that is where the big hotel was. We passed on way to Everglades and were told there were lots of manatees in the marina.

I will attest to that, her marina has a ton of manatees and they are beautiful to watch

Some of these seem really nice for the $$$ I especially like Bay Pointe Yacht and Racquet Club. I have no idea what the area is like, but seems like it would be worth checking out

Three new buyers at the hot dog lunch

We were given a resale sheet. These were sold.
Week 52, gulf side, &22000
Weeks 49 and 50. Bay side first floor $8000
Week 51 bay side. 8500
And also shown weeks 48, 49, 50 unit 107 $28000

Weeks 51 and 52 gulf side twenty to twenty five thousand
Week 49 bay side 2800 and other bay side week 49 and 50 3500 or 4000

rapmarks, I forgot to tell you that I meet the people that bought weeks 49/50 on the bay side from your info from last year. It was a mom who’s 86 and her two daughters. They were bummed that the association weeks were going for $3K on the bay side and that a week 50 was available (it sold the day we arrived) at that price since they paid $4K each ($8K total for weeks 49 and 50)
