Florida has the distinction of being one of four states in the country with the worst real estate market conditions. Foreclosures are everywhere and developments sit virtually empty. If you are selling your property in Florida, good luck. If you are a buyer, however, there are literally deals upon deals. So how does one go about finding those enticing deals?

If you are looking for inexpensive real estate anywhere in the state there are a number of different tools available to help you search, from the Internet to local real estate agents, who are familiar with their market. If you are diligent and exercise good judgment, you can find a deal on a home, condo or even raw land.

The best way to begin is to set your parameters and know your limits before you contact a real estate agent. Agents are delighted to show you homes they have listed. In the case of foreclosures and lender owned properties, agents can tour the properties and give you a good idea if work and additional money will be needed to get the property livable.

Buying a fixer-upper is a great way to save money and probably the easiest way to buy property cheap. Be prepared to make additional investment and hours of sweat equity to bring the home up to your standards.

Active adult communities are a great place to search. Federal law regulates the number of people under 55 who can live in these communities (usually 20 percent) so be careful unless you are over 55. Even if you cannot live in the community, it could be a great investment rental property until you qualify to live there.

Many Florida counties and communities have buyer programs that can help you purchase a home. These programs may provide some or all of the down payments and closing costs. The State of Florida's State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) can help first time buyers through the process of ownership.

Whether you are a first time buyer or experienced investor, Florida has a bargain basement property for you.
