The BravesFlorida/California house prices have been decimated. Go on one of those Florida bank repo tours, the banks will accept anything right now to shore up their liquidity.
I bought a 4 bed 3 bath, sold at $590k in '06, listed at repo $369k, for $215k near Boca. I'm renting it, but I would live there.
What's Atlanta got over Florida?
2hr drive is nothing, try 122 HOUR DRIVE!?
Dont go to florida, The only time its good to buy property there now is if you are among the ellite.
I strongly suggest Georgia, we have brilliant beaches within a 2 hour drives and some of the nicest homes around.
If your interested add me on msn and I can help you out.
You are taxed on your property, your income, and your purchases separately.How do they (the us) work out taxes, as a while ago I read they just tax you on your house value even if you dont work etc is that true?
