Introduction
With the inventory of available condos in Orlando now critically low,
finding high quality units at a competitive price is both more difficult and more important than ever.

The reason is simple – these properties tend to have stable tenants and a large pool of local buyers.
We are therefore thrilled to be in a position to promote a selection of spacious 1 bedroom condos
in the stunning “Notting Hill” community located in Lake Mary Boulevard, North Orlando.

(Manicured lawns, main clubhouse in front of pool, entrance)

Or Partners Torcana have been imparting their observations of the Orlando
and central Florida property market for several years now and we have argued
that the essential route to building a successful property portfolio is to purchase the
highest quality assets in the best possible locations you can.

We live in an uncertain environment and smart decisions must be taken now to ensure future success.
In the medium to long term you will not reap your rewards from
other investors – it will be end users and owner occupiers.

It will be Florida’s vibrant young professionals who ultimately provide your secure
exit strategy and that all important capital appreciation.
These people will look to purchase their first home in the best location their money will get them,
where they can get FHA financing now because the community is healthy and
where there are minimal foreclosures or HOA delinquents.

We also continue to adhere to our strategy of investing solely in communities where owner occupiers constitute the majority of residents, where there is NO deferred maintenance and where there is a satisfactory reserve fund built up over the years to cover future maintenance work.

Future local buyers and owner occupiers are most concerned with these issues and we strongly feel that the most successful investments will be properties that are closely aligned to their hopes and desires.

Our latest offering, “Notting Hill” is located in the affluent middle class residential
area of Lake Mary, Orlando and it displays ALL these characteristics.

We have exclusivity on just 21 units, many of which are likely to be snapped up within 10 days.

Project Summary
A private gated paradise with spectacular lake views; Notting Hill is one of the
most impressive communities we have had the pleasure of bringing to our clients. Built in 2000 and remodeled in 2006, this is an immaculate community consisting of 452 spacious homes.

(Selection of photos from the fabulous landscaping within the community)

Notting Hill is strategically located on the stunning affluent Lake Mary Boulevard,
15 miles north of downtown Orlando. Following numerous site visits and
detailed due diligence we are thrilled to offer just 21 units exclusive to our Torcana clients.

We have negotiated pricing down to start at an incredible $77,000
(a 70% discount on peak sales prices), and with yields in the 7 to 8% net range,
we know this project will provide the medium to long term investment success our investors demand.

Primarily owner occupied, and with a build quality and curb appeal rarely seen elsewhere,
this investment stacks up on every level –  it boasts a strategic location close to high
end employers and global corporations; proximity to the best schools in central Florida;
aesthetic beauty, a well maintained community and a financially
healthy home ownership association (HOA).

(Wide angle view of the elegant Notting Hill Clubhouse)

Notting Hill offers huge rental desirability and genuine purchase demand from owner occupiers -
FHA finance approval already exists in this community, another excellent added layer of reassurance,
if one were needed. The specific location of the Notting Hill condominium community is why it is so desirable.

It should come as no great surprise to learn that the biannual rankings of CNN/Money
Magazine in 2008 ranked Lake Mary as the 4th best town in America and number 1 in Florida to live.
The crime rate is one of the lowest in Florida and the area boasts one of the highest average household
incomes in Orlando at $84,000 per annum.

Small wonder the residents we met with on site were all delighted with their decision to reside here,
they enjoy a lifestyle unrivalled in Central Florida, and they know it!

Put simply, this perfect mix of low crime, access to global high end employers and corporations,
world class shopping, and provision of superior educational opportunities has played a huge
part in making Lake Mary such a highly attractive and desirable location to live, work and raise a family.

These are exactly the reasons why we are sure it will also be of great interest to
our knowledgeable and savvy investors.

Description :

Sun Lake is located in the epicentre of the tourism business in Orlando – right off the 192, two miles from Walt Disney World and adjacent to the Formosa Gardens Shopping complex. This is quite simply the most convenient location possible for both tourists and people working in the tourist industry.

Despite the fabulous location, this is a secluded resort with beautiful lake views surrounded by privately owned, high end vacation condos and pool home communities.

These are huge and fully furnished apartments ranging in size from 1250 – 1684 sq ft and in price from a jaw dropping $74,900 – $91,400. That equates to $54-$59 per sq ft! Even with materials costing less than they used to, you still couldn´t build a development like this for less than $100 per sq ft.

All of the properties we are offering can be rented short term, long term or kept as full time vacation homes.
The Sun Lake Resort provides easy access to all major central Florida attractions including Sea World, Aquatica, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Busch Gardens, Kennedy Space Center, Lego Land (newly opened) and a host of major golf resorts and shopping malls.

Location :
Sun Lake Resort is located in the epicentre of the tourism business in Orlando – right off the 192, two miles from Walt Disney World and adjacent to the Formosa Gardens Shopping complex. This is quite simply the most convenient location possible for tourists and Disney employees.

Siteplan :
Originally completed in 2004, the community comprises just 112 spacious two and three bedroom units spread across 11 buildings.

Investment Rating
Aside from its location adjacent to Disney World, the most fundamental reason to purchase in the Sun Lake Resort is its proximity to shops, supermarkets and restaurants. In most countries, having shops, restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance of an apartment is no big deal. It is definitely a big deal in Orlando – which is the unique selling point of Sun Lake.

Our Principle Justin Trapp is a licensed broker with over
20 years experience in the US Property Market.

Whether you are a first-time buyer or an experienced investor,
we will provide you with the best advice to ensure your purchase
generates good return.

We are a US based licensed real estate company established to promote
and sell properties in the USA direct to a domestic and global market.

Good News:

All these low prices is good news for those trying to get into the property market,
such as first time buyers, low paid, and of course let’s not forget the investors.

The first time buyers have never had it so good; a few years ago they would not have been
able to afford a 1 bed condo with the prices back then.

Low Prices:

Now everyone can afford to buy Florida homes for sale, from the low paid and first time buyers to the investors.
The price of property in Florida now is at an all time low and even the most skeptic investor of property
has to admit that now is the time to buy in Florida.

A lot of overseas companies are looking at investing in Florida.
They understand that the value of their investment can only improve from the lowest prices for a very long time.

I might even go as far as saying that we have Florida homes for sale at the lowest prices this Centaury!

Whoever is right there is one thing for sure; this is definitely the time to buy as the prices are right. Now let’s get in before they start talking of increasing interest rates, because that is also on the cards soon too.

Prices are right:

We have some really nice new Florida homes for sale and priced not much over the figure some are looking for on resale and distressed properties, so why buy old? When you can have a new Florida home for not much more?

Our new town homes just less than 5 miles from Disney in Orlando means you can buy to live in or buy to let to the large tourist market there as an investment.

Super Amenities:

Our Town homes start at just $159,000 and are located in a resort community that has amenities such as Clubhouse with Gymnasium, large community pool, cinema, meeting rooms and poolside bar and shop. This is a quality paradise and as you can see from the photos there is no place like home when it comes to a Florida home.

Best of both Worlds:

Here in this location you can have the best of both worlds you can live there over
the Winter months and then let it out to the tourist market over the Summer so it pays for your Florida home and vacation.

We as a real estate brokerage can assist you in negotiating the purchase of these bargain homes and also obtain finance on your behalf if required. We can arrange property management and many other
services to make your Florida home a dream home.

Residential Property financing

Financing used to purchase a residential property is usually the kind of financing that people are most familiar with. This is because residential property financing is used to secure a person’s primary residence. However, the type of financing that you would look for in order to purchase an income property or a property that is not your primary residence will often be very different than what you would be trying to secure for your own home.

Although there are set mortgage rates this is usually not the case with financing that is obtained for development projects. You will often need to provide information such as how much property development experience you have and what the scale of the project will be. The rates you pay will vary from lending institution to lending institution and from project to project.

You will often need to put more money down on a development project than you would on a property that you plan to live in. This will often include the building costs as well as the cost of the real estate that is being built on.

Financing for Commercial Properties

Like residential development projects, the rates you will pay to secure financing for a commercial property will also vary significantly. You may need to speak at length to lending institutions about the project and how viable it is. You may also find that there is a good deal more of involvement from a lending institution on a commercial development project than there would be on a residential development project.

A much larger deposit is often required for a commercial property and the interest rates are often higher. You may also need to provide a large amount of data and documentation surrounding the project that you want to begin working on. You may find that certain lending companies may be more willing to take on a commercial project than others will so don’t be afraid to do a bit of searching if you are not getting a good response from the first lending institution you approach.

Bridging Financing

There are times that short-term funding may be required to be able to take on a development project. In this case you may want to look at bridging finance opportunities. They are usually for a period of not more than one year although different lending institutions will have a range of terms for you to look at and compare.

By learning what your different financing options are you will be able to get the money you need to be able to take on those property development projects you find most appealing.
