Moving to a new city? Planning a vacation? As you consider issues like size, cost, and location of the rental, also consider this: that rental listing could be a scam. Scammers often advertise rentals that don’t exist or aren’t available to trick people into sending money before they find out the truth.  How Rental Scams Work Signs of a Scam How to Report Scams   Scammers know that finding the right apartment or vacation rental can be hard work, and a seemingly good deal is hard to pass up. They’ve been known to game some vacation rental websites and bulletin boards. The take-away: when you’re looking for a rental, it’s caveat renter — renter beware.  Some scammers hijack a real rental or real estate listing by changing the email address or other contact information and placing the modified ad on another site. The altered ad may even use the name of the person who posted the original ad. In other cases, scammers have hijacked the email accounts of property owners o

1. Consider how you’ll use the home.  Will it just be for family and friends, or do you plan to rent it as well? And realistically, how many times will you use it per year? 2. Evaluate locations.  Are there enough amenities and attractions to keep you— and renters—coming back year after year? 3. Talk to the locals.  What do they love about the area? What’s changing? And what’s it like during the off-season? 4. Study local laws.  If you plan to rent the home, local rules may restrict rental periods or cap the number of days you can rent each year.  5. Calculate costs.  Along with mortgage, insurance, property taxes and association or amenities fees, plan for wear and tear.  (A good rule of thumb: Budget 1 1⁄2 percent  of home’s value on repairs annually.) And if you intend to rent, add the cost of a property manager.  Consider agents with Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist certification (RSPS) as they have completed additional instruction to h

One River Point by Rafael Viñoly gives Miami’s downtown renaissance its defining architectural statement. Two slender 60-story towers rise above a floating podium from which a serene waterfall cascades 85 feet to a shimmering pool below appearing to flow into the Miami River. From its vantage point within the lush parkland setting, the elevated podium affords broad vistas across the river, the city and to the bay beyond. The signature waterfall and the landscaped expansive River Promenade will be the focal point of arrival on the Miami River. Offset and perpendicular to each other, the towers are joined again at the summit by a 3-story Skybridge, creating an iconic silhouette on the downtown skyline.  A vertical landmark rising out of a thriving landscape in the heart of downtown Miami, One River Point fulfills the promise of this unique location. The location affords privileged proximity to everything that is making Miami, America’s rising capital of commerce and culture. The hig

Miami remains one of the top destinations for Americans looking to move elsewhere, according to  a recent analysis from Redfin . The online home listing company compiled data from approximately 1 million users who searched for homes for sale on its platform in the first quarter of 2019. From these data, Redfin was able to deduce where prospective homebuyers were looking to move to. In its analysis, Redfin ranked Miami the fifth-most-searched city among users located outside of the metro area itself. Miami recorded a net inflow of 4,400 Redfin users from somewhere other than Miami, up from about 3,000 at the same time last year. More than 28 percent of searches for Miami home listings were conducted by non-local users, with New York City being the primary location of those users. For comparison, Phoenix posted the highest net outflow number, with almost 8,000 users from outside the Phoenix area looking for homes on Redfin. But another Florida hotspot for domestic migrants — Tampa
