I've long been advising buyers who are buying property here to use a local lender, especially for condos. A recent experience with one of the "region"al banks in our county has spurred me to qualify that advice. Just choosing a local lender does not guarantee a good experience. You might be unlucky enough to get a bad loan officer at a good bank. There are incompetent loan officers walking among us and they look just like the good ones at first glance. Ask someone for a recommendation based on a positive experience before you choose your lender and loan officer. Even with a good recommendation, it is prudent to maintain constant contact with the lender and to demand constant status reports. Sometimes the explosion happens before anyone notices the sizzling fuse.
On a positive note, the fishing right off the beach is on fire. Tarpon, snook, kingfish and other big predators are shadowing the plentiful bait pods up and down the beach.Conditions are such that they are easily caught from a small boat out of Port Canaveral or a kayak off the beach. A friend caught two sailfish in 40 feet of water off Cocoa Beach last Saturday.
