Investir.us, a leading player in the real estate investment landscape, is pleased to shed light on the thriving real estate market in Florida, USA. Florida has emerged as a prime hotspot for real estate investors, recently surpassing New York as the state with the second most valuable housing market in the country. This surge in real estate value is attributed to high population growth, driven by individuals seeking year-round warm weather. As a result, new construction activity is on the rise, and the heightened competition for existing homes has led to an impressive 80% increase in home values since the onset of the pandemic.

Renowned expert real estate investor and realtor Julien Raynard, who has achieved remarkable success in this dynamic market, offers valuable insights for investors looking to make their mark in the United States.

Julien Raynard, hailing from a small village near Lyon, France, holds a master's degree in business and entrepreneurship from one of France's prestigious universities. With a family deeply rooted in the real estate and construction industry, Raynard's journey into real estate investing was a natural progression. In 2016, he and his wife made the momentous decision to cross the Atlantic, gaining entry to the U.S. with an E-2 investor visa. They embarked on their American venture in the media and consulting industry before transitioning to real estate in 2018, launching a successful fix-and-flip business in Ohio.

Raynard's achievements include the successful flipping of over 200 properties and the establishment of a strong presence in southwest Florida. Over the course of three years, he constructed and sold 40 units, primarily in Charlotte County, with the assistance of local contractors. In 2021, Raynard acquired, revitalized, and sold two hotels in the Pickwick Lake area, before focusing on single-family and multi-family residential properties.

As a realtor, Raynard offers a comprehensive service to European investors looking to invest in U.S. properties, particularly in the lucrative Florida market. His multilingual abilities in French, English, and Spanish, coupled with his exceptional negotiation skills, have led to over $50 million in real estate transactions spanning luxury, residential, commercial, multi-family, hotels, industrial, vacant land, and new developments. Raynard specializes in international relocation for high-net-worth individuals and families and provides support for investor visa applicants (E-2 and EB-5), including business and commercial transactions. He boasts an extensive network of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and financial, legal, and accounting professionals on both sides of the Atlantic, enabling him to facilitate transactions seamlessly for European and U.S. investors.

According to Raynard, a significant portion of his investments in Florida is concentrated in and around Sarasota, where he collaborates with international real estate brokerage Engel & Völkers. Sarasota has recently earned the distinction of being the fifth-best place to live in the U.S. for 2023-2024, thanks to its quality of life, job market, value, and desirability. Raynard highlights Sarasota's lucrative real estate market, with a median sale price of $530,000 marking a 28% year-on-year increase. This growth is fueled by a rising population, improved economic conditions, and abundant job opportunities. Sarasota's status as a tax haven and its appeal to snowbirds seeking respite from northern climates during the winter further enhance its attractiveness to investors.

Raynard adds that while Sarasota was once known as a retirement destination, it has evolved into a family-oriented city with an array of new restaurants, entertainment events, and attractions. He anticipates further growth as the city's appeal becomes more widely recognized. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarasota's real estate market continues to show remarkable strength, with a substantial number of cash buyers and ongoing price appreciation.

Another key focus area for Raynard's real estate investments is Pickwick Lake, situated at the confluence of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. While more rural than Sarasota, Pickwick Lake has experienced a burgeoning economy and population, driven by the defense industry's expansion. A study conducted by Mississippi State University highlighted the pressing need for housing in the area, with around 5,000 workers unable to find suitable accommodations within a reasonable distance of their workplaces.

Raynard notes that a majority of homes in Pickwick Lake were constructed before 1990, and there have been limited new developments. He is spearheading projects to construct affordable residential units in Pickwick Lake, presenting a valuable investment opportunity to address housing shortages and enhance residents' quality of life.

"The real estate markets in both Pickwick Lake and Sarasota show excellent prospects, particularly with the post-pandemic recovery and growing demand for housing," says Raynard. "I have been working in these markets for years, leading projects that will fill this demand and provide good returns for investors."
