The macroeconomics is booming because of big companies moving and developing here like Intel, Amazon, Google, etc. that's why there is a lot of population growth and job growth.

If it has gone up and down rapidly, then that indicates a boom/bust market (typical in areas without a diverse job market such as areas where all of the jobs are in tech, energy, manufacturing, a single employer or supporting those workers for example). 

I'm still current on my payments but by now all the hope is lost.all of my life savings are gone, and now I'm about to have collectors on my back for the rest of my life.I need an advice how to navigate through giving up on the properties.Dennis

I would suggest calling Hillsborough county tax collector and ask about appealing your taxes and you will get directed to the right place.

Here in the Southwest, agriculture and military are big, but there's a booming manufacturing sector too!
