As summer comes to a close, many retirees and over 55’s dread the thought of a freezing cold winter. That’s why every year, right after the holidays, the mass migration of snowbirds begins. Desperate to avoid being cooped up inside because of the weather, many head to the Sarasota, Florida area to enjoy the beautiful climate.
As Sarasota Snow Birds enjoy golfing, boating, or just relaxing, the question of whether they should continue to rent or buy a place is pondered. Renting is a great option especially when you find a place you really like and get it year after year. But that is not always the case. You may get lucky a couple of years in a row, but at some point it could easily change, forcing you to look elsewhere. Further, you have to pack a lot more stuff when you rent, because you don’t want to forget anything you may need. Then there is the problem of what to do when family or friends want to visit. Many rentals are very particular about the number of guests and how long they can stay.
