South Florida, because of its climate, tropical setting, fine dining, state tax benefits and luxurious real estate, has attracted numerous immigrants and investors from all parts of the world and the United States. Before making the move to South Florida, however, one has to be well prepared and do his/her research well in advance. The South Florida real estate market has seen a drastic drop in prices due to excessive inventory. As such one should consult a realtor who specializes in short sales and foreclosures to assist them in pricing their real estate purchase or sale. There are a growing number of foreclosures which may have certain implications when it comes to purchasing a home or a condominium. There may be advantages for foreign immigrants to purchase real estate under the umbrella of a corporation. Investors and immigrants need to protect themselves from fraud. South Florida has also seen a tremendous rise in divorce rate, having a tremendous implication on child custody.
