I just read about this idea, this morning, and I thought I would discuss it here on the Mango. This is a exciting new concept, issuing visas for people who qualify age wise and income wise, to come to Florida to retire.
It seems that a Retirement Visa would help Florida disproportionally to any other state in the union. Almost 30% of all real estate transactions in Florida are with international buyers!
A Retirement Visa would be a great help to Florida, a state that depends on foreign buyers for its’ real estate industry which in this downturn has suffered enormously. It would create thousands of jobs both in the building industry, the restaurant industry, and all retail sales. The tax base would increase. After all, the building industry, plans for the foreign buyer in all its concepts. Florida builders advertise all over the world when they launch a new development.
Sounds like a good idea to me..what do you think? Let me hear from you.
