    Flying question: baggage

    As others have said, it will need to fit into the device or they will check it at the gate. If they are going to do any travel by train or metro make sure they have bags that will fit down to coorodors and that have great wheels and handles. I've seen far too many arrive with huge bags that...

    Best Paint for Storm Shelter

    Look towards industrial epoxy type coatings if you want to do in once and do it to last forever. I have a client that provides maintenance at the space center for all the towers and what they can not powder coat, they use an epoxy paint process. I know thats a broad statement but in FL we have...

    Working on a new dog

    Beautiful creatures! I wish you the best of luck. A few years ago I really wanted to adopt a Cane Corso but I had just had shoulder surgery and I could not handle him. I'm 250lbs ish and he pulled me around like I was nothing, no way the wife could have remotely handled him. TH

    How to interview and hire the right Realtor

    You should also make your buyers agent provide you a CMA of the price you want to offer, don't just take a listings agents word or their as to the value. TH

    How to interview and hire the right Realtor

    It's OK if you do not see the value in a Realtors services. I will not try to convince you other wise but how do you know if you're getting top dollar? Do you guess? Do you know the process? My point regarding MLS is that MLS in todays market means absolutley nothing. I don't use MLS in my...

    Realtors in Florida

    I'm in Brevard County on the West side of I95 so I don't even pay flood insurance. Look up Viera FL. Not Vero. The beaches are still only 15 mins away. The key is getting somewhere with a high elevation. I had a house on Merritt Island, direct water front but my finished floor elevation was...

    Realtors in Florida

    There is always someone that thinks they know more than others. I lived in the OCala area for a few years and love it there. I do not see a decline in prices at all in the future.

    How to interview and hire the right Realtor

    I see there are lots of questions here about Realtors, both good an bad. I thought I'd share my opinions of Residential Realtors and how to pick the right ones. This is not all inclusive, just my random thoughts after reading some of the posts here. My background is 37 years in the industry. I...

    Realtors in Florida

    I think this really comes from Northern people expecting what they had back in NY. Wood is great but its not moisture that kills here, its the sand that you track in all the time. TH

    Realtors in Florida

    The only positive with ICF would be insualting factors, time and labor savings. I do not know if in the grand scheme of things that it does any more than that but I am on the commercial side of things. I have developed a few large buildings with tilt wall, which is a pre engineered product...

    Is Home Title Insurance really necessary?

    OK I guess I missed that. Rate lock is hit or miss. I would not pay for it today as rates have been declining.

    Insurance is high here because unfortunately many homeowners have used their policy as a warranty policy. More than half of my neighbors had their roofs repalced over the last few years because they claimed damage due from a very light hailstorm. There are groupd working for contyractors thay...

    Is Home Title Insurance really necessary?

    Title insurance is cheap. It is the only way to protect yourself against older claims of ownership. An owners policy is typically issued in 2 ways. #1 a general warranty deed goes back through all recorded events and makes sure there is no break in title/ownership. #2 a special warranty deed...

    Just clueless; military mobilization unexpected so soon

    Kid your parents are going to be proud that you have decided to serve your country. Do so with your head held high and do it for them. School will be around when you get back. God bless and thank you. My step son is in Korea and was told the same thing. TH

    Motorcycles Blaring Music

    Spend a few hours on a bike with the typical idiot driver not paying attention and you will see why it makes sense to have loud pipes. Riding without a helmet and full geat is stupid but people do it. We will all go down, its not a matter of if, its when. I'm in Sunny FL and I can tell you I...

    Motorcycles Blaring Music

    Our HD's are loud so that the people in their cars texting can hear us and maybe not change into the same lane that we occupy. No excuse for disruptive music, thats being a douche. My bike auto adjusts for speed so not an issue but I am aware no one around me wants to hear my music at a light...

    Capital Gains question

    Some good and some bad advice here. First, capitol gains can be eleminated if occupied 2 years out of the last 5 yrs. Period. It will not apply to you in this case. Second someone would have assigned a 'cost basis' to the house when you converted it into an invetment property. That can and...

    Realtors in Florida

    I have been in real estate 37 yrs and watched many come and go. Most look at it as easy money but when they find out you actually have to work to make money, they go back to being hairdressers. Reaserch any agent and don't always go to the piad review sites. An agent worth his/her price will be...
