Windsor Hills Homes for Sale

If you have been following my blog you may have noticed that the homes at the Windsor Hills Reserve have been a rather hot commodity. These vacation homes have been sold time and time again just after they are released. The 7 of the 9 homes released last week have already been sold. From time to time I receive information on a home that a home at the Windsor Hills Reserve has been placed back in the inventory. These homes are typically offered at a substantial discount and are typically sold very fast.

I have just been informed that Lot #109 has just been released back into inventory at a substantial discount. This home has been fully upgraded and sits on top of Windsor Hills Reserve with views of Disney MGM Studios from the lot.

1031 Tax Exchange

1031 Tax Exchange for your Orlando Home

Over the years I have had many investors - Orlando vacation home buyers ask about upgrading to a bigger property. In most cases the best way to do this is by utilizing a 1031 tax exchange.

These tax deferred exchanges are an opportunity that everyone can benefit from, not only seasoned…
