    Oh geez, I am sure there are gangs in every large city in America, thanks to liberal interferance. I have lived in FL since 1977 and never met a single gang person not have I suffered any crime of any sort. I own 18 buildings in this area and afgain, never an issue. Miami is the worst palce...

    They are using limited markets with limited data in those markets. Arcadia for example onlyhas 3500 homes with a median build date of 1974 and their population has dropped almost 8% year over year. Why? There is nothing in Arcadia! Farm land and migrant workers move there, thats it. I will...

    Florida impact fee's to build

    The fees are just another tax for the most part. I too think we should contribute to schools and roads but in this area we also added a 1/2 cent sales tax to pay for schools and approx .21 cents per gallon of fuel tax goes towards roads and transportation. I'm sure most states are the same so...

    Florida impact fee's to build

    I thought I would start a new thread to aid in those of you looking to build in FL. THis is a generic statement but inpact fee's have sky rocketed throughout most of the state. In Brevard County, which I would say is middle of the road in fee's, this is roughtly what you will pay for a 2000 sf...

    Not sure of the exact converation but a fire sprinkler system is going to be about $2.00 psf, plus the back flow preventer system and then plus probably an impact fee for water.

    Palm Bay was built with little infastructure in place as it was originally a land sale scheme back in the 70's. Roads are terrible and city water and sewer are scarce in the older areas. There are some nice homes in newer areas but unfortunately they override thegood parts. It is the cheapest...

    LOL I'm not going to disagree with everything you have said but most of it is location driven. Just like living in New York versus living in New York City. Property prices can be high but so is appreciation. Proiperty taxes, if homesteaded can legally only increase 3% per year in most counties...

    Building code requires 16" OC or 24"OC with sag resistant ceiling drywall. Are you sure they were not gooing to add perpendicular straps for the ceiling board?

    LVP Flooring

    I'd step up in quality. I put LVP in my home and went with the product from Cali Bamboo. Its tough as nails, you can't scratch it even if you tried and has held up perfectly with my 2 dogs, the pool traffic and sand. I think Lowes carries some of their product now.

    Neighbor from Hell - this week's events

    People are accustomed to hiding behind their keyboard and no longer fear getting punched in the face. That neighbor needs a good beat down.

    Neighbor from Hell - this week's events

    This is typical of people who do not get to kow their neighbors. Might I suggest you make an effort and appologize to them, even if you are not in the wrong, and just try to have a conversation with the neighbor? Maybe they are lonely or just think you are doing things on purpose. You never...

    Took a test drive in a used truck today, something in the cab made me sick.

    I have a female friend that has been fighting a bad odo in a QX80. Its been 14 months and 20 some odd trips to the dealer only to determine it was an unreported food car. It gave her a migrane like headache every day she drove it. My point to the OP is, its not worth your health and there will...

    Thats in a historic area with mandatory design standards. It will only have 4 homes, so the HOA is paying for the roads and infastructure I bet. Move outside of that little project and you will find comparable houses in the high $300's to low $400's with larger lots. Ocala is horse country so...

    That sounds steep for the Ocala market at almost $400 psft but that would be an all inclusive price I think. Chances are its going to be municipal water and sewer, no basement due to water table in most of FL and driveway would also be included. Pre manufactured homes are big in Ocala. They...

    Took a test drive in a used truck today, something in the cab made me sick.

    I'd keep looking. Its not worth your health and what do you do if the problem returns? I have a friend that biought a lightly used QX80 SUV and it had such a bad odor and kept going back in to the shop, the dealer finally tapped out and said they couldnt fix it and gave her credit towards...

    Thats a neat looking home for sure. I hate houses on a corner but thats just me, too much traffic. I would also insist on some type of concrete type siding board, ie Hardy boards or something just to protect from insect and rot damage.
