But what about the value? Just like when those from foreign countries buy because of the exchange rate; the exchange rate from liquid cash to real, tangible real estate is excellent. Maybe your money is 'safe' at the bank. I mean it is insured up to $250,000 at each bank. But what happens when your bank closes its door or when there is a rush from everyone wanting their money? There may be a wait or there may not be any left. This blog is not intended to instill fear or panic. It…

Hurricane Season in Cape Coral

Cape Coral Real Estate, Opinion, SW Florida Events, SW Florida News

Here are some I can think of: Hurricanes Tornadoes Mudslides Blizzards Fires Floods Heat Wind Earthquakes I found an article put on USA Today that goes into more detail about these things. They also have a cool interactive map to show you where these natural disasters occur. So, what natural disasters do you have to explain in…
