Sales tax sucks 9.25%:scared

But besides that, most everything else is well priced and with housing industry on the downswing, housing is pretty reasonably priced

And you got some drinking and golf buddies built in:00hour

Hell I don't know
I'm not going to live there.. I'm just tired of giving the hotel industry so much money. I figure the property shouldn't lose any value and the taxes and insurance will be less than I spend at hotels 3 or 4 times a year. Plus I can rent it to some of my friends at Madjacks :SIB

I plan on buying cars and shipping them back for my lot also.

Property taxes and Insurance in FLA are killers. Almost equal to P+I mortgage payment here. :scared

But most importantly, the taxes must be going for a good cause and benefiting nice people. :SIB

move to a state with no state income tax :shrug:

Florida has no income state tax.

Property value is really down. I live in South Tampa but spend all my free time on the water at Treasure Island, as well as Pass A Grille.

Great place but not sure about the double wide area you are referring to.

I worked in Bradenton and it has nice beaches as well and really the best surf break of Santa Anna.

I would google maps the location. Bradenton and Treasure Island are very far apart. I-275 is atrocious and it is more like 2 hours away from Orlando... You have to cross the causeway once off I4 and then continue to the beach just to get to TI... As for Bradenton from Orlando, I-4 to 75S towards Naples... quicker but a lot more miles...

FWIW.

Additionally, good luck getting hurrican insurance... they dropped 50K + issuers? in the last year with more to follow. Pinellas property tax is very high as well.

Loved to meet up if you decide to purchase, currently heading to Kentucky so Im out of town.

Sweet deal, Dunlock! I'll leave my schedule open either way, I'll think of a place to grab some food and a couple brews.

Yeah, as far as the contest goes, I could use it... :142smilie

Sounds like a plan! TPC at Tampa looks really good right now, and don't even get me started on the dog tracks... 8 minutes from the house and have texas holdem... Of course Tampa HArd Rock is going full casino in January and that's just 8 miles down I-4... Lots of trouble to get in down here... Mons Venus <cough>

Lewehands, get my trophy from that Penis gobbler Woodson when you see him.

:142smilie

I missed you two... Look around, there's a couple good Agent "caught on tape moments" around here somewhere...

By the way, it's been 3 weeks, so, 5-3 weeks is just around the corner...

Contest is still running anyways... not a stiff bro, I promise.:shrug:

Hold off for 6 months or so you'll get a better bargain
