From what I've seen, allot of the numbers people come up with are super precise and the overage or shortfalls are a SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess).  

HOWEVER, they are wildly overpriced.

As another post mentions above, the antiquated municipality system generates wildly varying tax rates in communities that border one another. 

Tons of wildly successful investor and a bunch of terrific resources.  

I know there are snakes, but there are just as many, if not more, good, professional, and diligent agents who want to help their investor clients succeed wildly.  

Also everything on Hatteras is dated and needs more reno than turnkey cabins, but even houses that look condemned have 100% peak month occupancy which is wild.

Now I only have one seasonal job as a volunteer wild land firefighter.

The Wild Card is there is a city just across the border(Reynosa) of an additional million people.

No wild stories, but we were all better off!

I've heard stories as well of Sheriff Sales being like the wild wild west at times (the big players bidding up properties just to keep the new players out of contention) but haven't experienced anything like that first hand.
