Lakefront Property Investment Jitters ?
June 20th, 2008 categories: Real Estate News
When using an experienced lakefront Realtor, you will obtain a property for the best price and be able to see your property appreciate. If the property is priced way above the assessed value, it should be compensated by upscale improvements to more than offset the difference. There are some exceptions in the Finger Lakes, but as most New Yorkers know, tax assessments should be around 100% of market value. Your lakefront Realtor should be able to assist you in this information. Currently my investment buyers are targeting properties below or right at assessed value. This will helps to assure a good return on their investment. There are several ways to acquire an investment property.
I wrote an original article a couple of years ago after observing several people utilizing jumbo loans to secure properties they desired. There really are so many other options when purchasing high end properties.
- Cash – yes, cash is still king. Cash is also a great negotiator
- Using other properties as equity
- Self directed IRA monies
- 1031 exchange
- Owner financing, it never hurts to inquire
There are options, so try to think outside of the box. I currently have one client that is selling one of his businesses. As a condition of this sale, is the purchase of a lakefront property by him.

Are Jumbo Loan Rates Scaring You? From Buying A Resort Property?
So you spent a week at your favorite lake, be it Canandaigua, Keuka, or Seneca, had a great time and thought how perfect it would be to own a home like this, to have for the family enjoyment as a vacation home and possibly an investment.

There are ways around setting the entire loan up under the Jumbo category. First, if you have another investment property, you can sell it and transfer the capital gains into the new property utilizing the 1031 tax exchange. This will minimize the amount of monies being borrowed against the property. Second, you can procure a loan up to the jumbo loan limit and then secure an additional loan for the difference. These are options that can be better explained by your loan officer.
Currently lake front properties are still appreciating and with loan rates being as low as they are, it is the perfect time to purchase your favorite spot in the Finger Lakes.
