 Spring 2016 will be one for the DeLand history books. We've said hello to new developments, witnessed positive growth in the downtown core, and said goodbye to some beloved DeLand establishments. Which brings us to the following:
250 E. International Speedway Boulevard  You've heard the expression, "you can't have your cake and eat it, too," right? Or what about, "you can't have the best of both worlds?" It turns out, you can have "the best of both worlds," and, "have your cake and eat it, too," at least when it comes to this piece of property.
 Even if you are not a literary fan, you have likely heard of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings or are familiar with her work. In 1939 she won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her novel "The Yearling." The book was later adapted into a movie staring Gregory Peck. The setting of the book and movie put North Central Florida on the map as the author gave insight into what life was like in the rugged days of Florida's past.
 Many of our clients own extra properties that they rent out to tenants to earn extra income. Leasing out real estate can be a solid part of your overall financial plan or retirement. If you are new to leasing to tenants, we hope that you have great tenants that pay on time every month. However, if you lease out property long enough, you will likely deal with tenants that pay late, or not at all. Whether you are new to leasing to tenants or not, you will likely need to evict someone in the future.
 There has been much chatter recently about new commercial buildings and businesses developing on the south side of DeLand. This is in large part due to several new businesses opening at or near Country Club Crossing Shopping Center such as the new Publix, Starbucks and soon to be Chick-fil-A. However, north DeLand, especially near the airport, is host to several commercial industries and businesses, and the potential of new businesses calling the area home is extremely likely.
