Florida Property | Investment Strategy

"Florida has pushed back from the gate, taxied to the head of the runway and is preparing for takeoff." Dr. Sean Snaith Ph.D.

We designed the Maximum Growth strategy especially for Florida property investment and it does what it says - creates the potential for substantial medium-term growth in capital, in the shortest possible timescale.

The Maximum Growth investment strategy for Florida property offers...

Target Return On Investment (ROI): 100% to 300% in 3 to 5 years.

Accompanied by strong rental yields: 8% to 12% net per annum.

This typically works out at an average of $400 to $600 USD (approximately £260 to £380 GBP) positive cashflow per month on a $60,000 Florida property purchase. That's the net amount of cash received, after property management, Homeowners Association (HOA) fees and city taxes etc.

For comparison, in the UK, yields average at around 7.5% gross and 5.5% net.

What's a typical investment in Florida real estate?

$35,000 to $90,000 USD (approximately £22,000 to £57,000 GBP) for luxury, refurbished condos in good Florida communities.

$60,000 to $250,000 (approximately £38,000 to £158,000 GBP) if you buy a Florida single family home.

Note that our Florida property prices are so low because you are investing in either foreclosures or distressed developer stock. Typically the former price will be around four times the price you pay. For example, a condo at $50,000 would have been previously sold at up to $200,000. Florida real esate currently offers quite remarkable value.

In a limited number of Florida locations this capital investment may be reduced by the availability of finance. Where available it will usually offer from 50% to 60% lending which is not full status lending!

Where finance is available for Florida property, your capital contribition could be as low as around £14,000 plus fees to buy a quality refurbished and tenanted condo.

How does Axis select Florida property for sale to achieve the Maximum Growth strategy?

We work alongside our Florida partners to make Maximum Growth work for you. We achieve these outstanding results through the following process:

We find and negotiate exceptionally low prices for all our Florida real estate, typically up to 74% below peak pricing and 30% below today's market value
We carefully select Florida locations where the property has greater recovery potential than average
We offer finance options (subject to status and availability) where possible, to enable you to invest with other people's money
We rent to US citizens working locally, producing an excellent income from your Florida property until it is time to sell
Then, we wait for a three-to-five year period to deliver the anticipated growth

As a working example, a return of 300% over five years with this strategy would turn £50,000 GBP into £200,000 GBP. This is many times greater than 'standard' property investments and reflects the huge potential of Florida real esate.
