Um, before I spent $30,000 I would do a whole lot of research on the spot - checking out neighborhoods and current local prices. You can get info on renting for vacation here - but it isn;t a real estate board.

The condo market in Florida is so unbelievably depressed right now that you can make a cash offer and buy a condo for about 50% of what they were worth in 2005.
However, $30,000 for a two bedroom condo is raising red flags to me.

TANGOLINO-
I think some of the advice you received in your previous post http://tinyurl.com/cgj3lv still applies, particularly your concerns about safety and noise.
I agree with the comments of nytraveler. You probably need to schedule a trip here and spend several days with a realtor who will show you various neighborhoods with condos in your price range. He/she can answer your specific questions about safety, noise, schools, etc. I, personally, would never try to buy real estate in Florida (or elsewhere) sight unseen.

I'm suddenly reminded how easy it was for land and real estate developers in Florida to scam millions of people with their fraudulent sales. I thought today people were smarter than buying something sight unseen because someone they didn't even know told them it was a good deal. What's that phrase about one born every minute?
