How is it Ceramic Roof Tiles market in Florida and California nowadays?
374873
THE PRICE OF CERAMIC ROOFING TILES CAN RANGE ANYWERE FROM 80 TO 200 DOLLARS PER SQUARE DEPENDING ON QUALITY AND THAT IS RETAIL PRICE FROM SUPPLIERS. A SQUARE IS EQUAL TO A 10 FT. BY 10 FT AREA = 100 SQUARE FEET OR 1 SQUARE. AND I BELIEVE THAT TILES PER SQUARE DEPENDING ON MEASUREMENTS CAN RANGE FROM 90 PIECES OF TILE TO 100 PIECES OF TILE.BUT AS YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU NEED AN NOA# OR PRODUCTIC APPROVAL NUMBER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF THAT HELPED LET ME KNOW. THANKS

It all depends, I recommend you do a property search on Zillow.com which will give you comparable sales in the area. I live in Tampa and the comps vary signifigantly.. If you need any assistance please drop me a line Jcorreahq@yahoo.com \n\n\n~Joseph Correa\nLicensed Mortgage Broker

it's base on where you live??\n\nfor example if you're in vegas, AZ, or new mexico keep the house around for a bit since the market there is still pretty hot.\n\nbut if you're in NYC or CA any over-saturated market you should get the hell ou ASAP. \n\ngood luck.

I am assuming you are pretty knowledgable about Siding and Roofing and are looking for help on the business side of things.\n\nTry starting with the Small Business administration's website.

You may want to visit the web sites listed below.  Weighing your options will be a good idea before you move.  Also something to consider is climate.  You said it'll be for winter.  How will you maintain the home of your choice in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, when you are not living in it?  California gets mud slides, earthquakes, and wild fires.  Florida, is mostly hit by heavy rains that can cause flooding,and not to mention hurricanes.  The Carolina's will have relatively southern temps, and the bare minimal of natural disaster, all except the occasional tornado.  The reason I've mentioned all of this, is because you want to make sure that your investment is protected for years to come.  You'll also need to consider the home owners insurance cost for each state.  As it may be higher in Florida and California.  Ultimately, it will come down to what you are willing to pay for the upkeep of the home when you are away, and the protection you will need in case of a natural occurrence.  Obviously, you have the money to do all of the above, but consider the key elimate in your question...investment!!!  Do your research, and see what you decide.  I hope that from the information you find you will make the best decision for you, and your future.  God Bless

In California there's always property going up condos, town houses, apartments, industry...\nAnd every time there's an earthquake, the property is comming down!.

Yes, to both questions.  But, the question is relative to your experience, education, skill set.  A lot of the jobs are tied to service and retail.  Catering to retirees, etc.  However, International trade is big, as is agricultural.  \n\nRelative to from where your from ~ some of the state laws, can seem archaic (Flordia is afterall a Southern State).  I've heard that HRS (Human Rersources) can be more than a little over-zealous when it comes child protection.  Not a problem if you're taking care of and handling your business, but if its even suspected that you're not ~ then you can expect a knock at the door. \n\nFlordia doesn't have a state income tax ~ depending primaryly on sales tax for revenues so that's a plus.  \n\nYou couldn't pay me to live south of Tampa.  \n\nThe thing that I would have to ask you, is that you DO understand that we're in the up-swing of a twenty year hurricane cycle, and that Flordia is HURRICANE alley?  The last two years isn't a coincidence!  And it not going to get any better in the years to come (as in the next 18 years)  Having been through multiple hurricanes and typhoons, (lived in Japan for four years) they're NOT fun, and they're PRETTY!  Do you REALLY want to risk losing everything that you've worked for all of your life?  I live 200 miles from the Gulf Coast ~ and even that's too close.  But, its close enough in-land that by the time a hurricane has hit the coast ~and reaches us ~ its disipated in strength usally back to a tropical storm.  Although Opal gave us a whollop back in the early 90's.

Different markets are reacting in different ways...\n\nProperties in northern cities which are losing population are suffering flat or falling values.\n\nCities in the South, such as Tampa, which are still enjoying steady job and population gains are continuing to appreciate, although not at the same rate of the last 1-3 years.

Well written article.  \n\nHaving just sold a home in the town immediately north of Port Charlotte, I can tell you that the market there has gone flat.  We were able to sell because we put a realistic price on our house.  The 1/2 dozen others on OUR STREET that were for sale when we put ours on the market remain on the market today.\n\nThe woods across the street from our old house are being turned into homes that are selling for upwards of $500,000.  Mind you, the same builder was selling the same houses in another development 2 years ago for 1/3 of the price.  I wish the new owners luck in being able to afford homeowners & flood insurance.\n\nAll over the area in Sarasota & Manatee counties the market has gone flat.  Too many people trying to cash in on the post hurricane demand for existing homes.  Made everyone's property taxes go through the roof.\n\nWe moved out of Florida, to a part of the country where you can still afford to live.

Dont' go by anything you read on here. The prices very from state to state. Not a lot but they do. \n\nThe best bet is to call a local lumber company and ask them how much shingles would be for 45 squares, then get a price on architectural, now a days the prices are pretty close to each other. \n\nThen after you find out the price of the shingles you could call a roofing company for a free estimate. I'd call 2 or 3 to see if they are pretty accurate. \n\n*Good Luck*

Any real estate investment in Florida is good. Some are better than others, but you can't go wrong. Florida will continue to grow even after all other real estate markets slow or dip because of the retiring people(q tips as they are called)......KECK

I will try to keep this short.\nI had a computer store in Calif for a few years and did quite well. I found it to be the most cash intensive business if you do things right. \nLocation and hours are a key here. Because most people work during the week and have only weekends off to take care of thier computer problems being open on Sunday is essential. Also being open a little later than your competition helps. You must also be in a location that can be easily accessed and seen.\nDepending on where you are in the country, you might wish to seek out computer swapmeets. They provide many customers and contacts. In Calif there are many throughout the state and I did some of my best business there. Plus most of the buyers use cash.\nBe sure that you and the people you have working for you really know what they are doing. Keep up with the new technologies and very important, have fun.\nGood luck to you.
