I showed this unit at 100 Uno Lago, unit 401, in Juno Beach FL 33408. This is a top floor unit that faces the south. The unit has new flooring and carpets, a new Ac and a newer water heater. The 3 bed units are on the end of the building so they get more light and this one is on the east end of the building so it will get the most light in the morning. The ceilings are knock down and the doors are all 36″ which are wider than normal. This unit has newer accordion style hurricane shutters AND IT IS LOVED. This is the type of unit I advise people to buy. Well maintained and loved. Need a new AC? No problem. 15-20k for hurricane shutters? No problem. Top floor, end unit, great view, 3 beds, gated community, in Juno Beach, 2 pools, on site management, a true gym and club house. If you want a condo in the incorporated area of Juno there’s only a few options, a 3 bed and it’s even fewer. And, BTW the recent sales numbers are all right there so this one is priced appropriately.
Ocean Trace (Uno Lago) in Juno Beach, Florida is a GATED community located between US Highway One and Ellison Wilson in the heart of Juno Beach.

The condominiums have elevators and private patios with serene views of the lake. There is a 30 minimum rental term but the unit may be rented 12 times a year. Owners may have 2 pets with a combined weight limit of 120 lbs. The condominium HAS been approved by HUD. Ocean Trace is less than 1 mile to the beach and close to world class golf courses, marinas, restaurants and shops. Commercial work trucks or vans, boats, jet skis, boat trailers, motorcycles, storage bins, or campers are among the types of equipment that may NOT be parked overnight on the property.

I do not hear this one enough.
Can I use a VA Loan?
The VA Loan program is a terrific benefit for many who have served in the armed forces.
The best answer I have for this one is the to straight to the governments web site
https://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/purchaseco_eligibility.asp
According to the 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers Florida brake down twenty-five percent of recent home buyers are veterans and two percent are active-duty service members in Florida.
As a state with a large active military and a popular retirement state, Florida has about 1.5 million veterans. Florida also has an additional homestead exemption for disabled veterans meeting certain criteria. A $5,000 exemption is available to veterans with a service-related disability of 10 percent or more. Those who suffer a permanent and complete disability are entitled to a total exemption.
The basic entitlement available to each eligible Veteran is $36,000. Lenders will generally loan up to 4 times a Veteran’s available entitlement without a down payment, provided the Veteran is income and credit qualified and the property appraises for the asking price.
The conforming loan limit for Palm Beach County is currently 417K.

Short answer…$100 for each person but a husband and wife are seen as a single entity as are a parent/dependant child…
The management companies may not like this one but after years of gouging prospective Buyers and Tenants the legislature enacted this section of FS 718.112 which reads…
“(i)?Transfer fees.—No charge shall be made by the association or any body thereof in connection with the sale, mortgage, lease, sublease, or other transfer of a unit unless the association is required to approve such transfer and a fee for such approval is provided for in the declaration, articles, or bylaws. Any such fee may be preset, but in no event may such fee exceed $100 per applicant other than husband/wife or parent/dependent child, which are considered one applicant. However, if the lease or sublease is a renewal of a lease or sublease with the same lessee or sublessee, no charge shall be made. The foregoing notwithstanding, an association may, if the authority to do so appears in the declaration or bylaws, require that a prospective lessee place a security deposit, in an amount not to exceed the equivalent of 1 month’s rent, into an escrow account maintained by the association. The security deposit shall protect against damages to the common elements or association property. Payment of interest, claims against the deposit, refunds, and disputes under this paragraph shall be handled in the same fashion as provided in part II of chapter 83.”
