Deep in history through the centuries, starting with kings and queens, owning land or real estate property was prestigious and lucrative. Today buying real estate is a wise long term investment strategy, too. Your property will not evaporate into a thin air, as it happened with the stocks many times. Some people invest in the stocks $200.000 just to get back only $200. But if you own a house, you can touch it.  As long as you pay your mortgage payments,  maintain and keep it in good condition, or  if it is paid off, it is yours to enjoy. This creation in stone and glass will always be there for you.  It will not disappear, it will stand for you in bad or good time.  And if you bought it in desirable areas, such as on the water or within several steps to the ocean, it will greatly appreciate over the years, making it an attractive and solid long term investment.

Florida’s boom era is coming to the start again. If so, when will the Florida boom end? Do you think people did not have the same questions many years ago? Sure, they had, and  tried to find the right answers.

“When do you think the boom will be over–when will be the right time to get out of Florida?” Many friends of Edgar John Phillips, a well-known Chicago attorney and an extensive investor in Florida real estate, asked him in 1925. Mr. Phillips was a young, successful American businessman and passionate believer in the future of Florida. His answer to his friends was widely quoted in the newspapers at that time. These wise thoughts make good sense today, as they did 83 years ago. Here is an excerpt.

When the Northern businessman becomes a perpetual-motion business machine and can stand the rush and roar of the city life twelve months without let-up or recreation; when the sun in the south gives at meridian height no longer its beauty and glory to the winter months and its beams come struggling through a murky atmosphere of smoke, fog and dirt; when the silver fades from your azure skies and the golden grandeur of your western panorama is no more; when your air loom the fragrance of the orange blossoms and honey-suckle and the bouquets of hibiscus, oleanders and bougainvilleas fade from the landscape; when the melody of the whippoorwill no longer breaks the silence at even tide, the mimicry of the mocking bird no longer filters through the moonlight and the cardinal no longer heralds the break of day; when your sovereign alchemist refuses to restore youth to the aged and happiness to the ailing; when the southern man loses his chivalry and hospitality and becomes obsessed with the greed of gain and resorts to unfair tactics in his dealings with his neighbors from the North; when America ceases to grow in population and wealth so that travel and recreation are no longer possible–when these things happen, then the Florida boom will be over and it will be a good time to get out.

Until then, stay here, continue your program of rapid development to keep pace with your rapid growth, and you, and your children, and your children’s children will continue to grow and prosper as Florida fulfills its destiny as the Nation’s playground.
