The most important factor affecting the value of real estate is location. In broader terms, the location of a condo building connects it with market demand and sets it apart from its competitors.

 

How do we know? We are intimately familiar with each and every one of these neighborhoods and condo buildings in the Ross100. Additionally, we are aware of the expected growth patterns in each area, current and future competition, and how each buildings location compares to competitive areas.

We rate rent friendliness based upon renting potential. The main factors include: number of leases per year, minimum number of days for each lease, existence of different rules for renters and owners, attractiveness of building and location to renters. An average, or three star rating, implies that an owner can rent out their property, twice per year with a minimum term of 180 days. This is the most common lease restriction for condos in Miami.

 

How do we know? We have advised many clients on their investment properties and have hands on experience dealing with renters and property management as well. Rentability is very important, especially to an international investor. We have the inside story, knowledge and experience on which buildings will work for our clients.

We rank design and efficiency based upon the architectural, interior and landscape design of the building. Plus, we consider the profile, curb appeal and visibility of the building, as well as the functional and effective use of space.

 

How do we know?  While we are not professional nor trained architects and designers, we can certainly share with you our personal experience and knowledge of the overall appeal, design and functionality of each building. Also, in dealing with such a wide variety of international clients, we receive a lot of feedback of what they find attractive in the design, space and use of a specific condo unit or building.

The walkability rating is based upon how friendly an area is to walking and the degree that developed environment is friendly to residing in the area.

 

How do we know? As an avid road cyclist and long time resident of many years in and around these areas, plus all of the feedback that we receive from friends and clients, we have our ears open and feet to the ground in the Ross100 neighborhoods.
