The wealthier neighborhoods have more and better stuff to steal.One technique I've heard about for 40 years is the brazen daytime robbers dressed as movers who show up at a house with a large moving van and empty it out while the neighbors watch (it happened on the street where I lived in the Rose Garden neighborhood of San Jose, California).

I’m a gardener and would love to live on some land so I can put my hobby farm skills to use, but the homes with land in Florida seem to be in areas where I am concerned about safety.

I had my stints in the syndication game back in the 80's and the company I worked for had 200 plus partnerships most in Sacramento area .. they specialized in those 8 to 20 unit garden apartments but they also owned student housing in Davis and some larger 200 unti plus deals in Stockton..

Winter Garden, FL3.

It is an old apartment that has a common garden with another 11.

In a not-so-nice  area, you want a yard that you can build a four-foot chain-link fence around the property, or a big hill that you can put in garden walls and terraces to use as a natural block to people cutting across your property.4.

We travel, take daily walks together, attend church, assist at the Phoenix mission, garden, hike, keep up on the latest issues, have lunches and dinners with friends, attend family events and sit and stare at the stars.

I have a few deals in Winter Garden and near Ocala and I am not as familiar with those areas as I am with Orlando.

Professional garden like setting on a corner lot is set to impress.

The HOA fees are much lower than you'll find with nearby properties to the north in Garden City, Surfside, and Myrtle Beach.
