The area is steadily increasing with the new signing of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and many new distribution centers coming to the area. 

They only sell Carrier and Daikin, which are fancier than the currently installed Goodman unit.Is there any real savings to be had by purchasing the unit directly from an HVAC or plumbing supply house?

(Disclaimer: I worked for them a few years back)There are a bunch of new student housing buildings going up already in Davie and Cooper City along University Avenue to support University of Florida and the entire Nova campus, but I believe there is still opportunity due to the popularity of our destination as well as for people moving to take jobs at the new Hard Rock Casino and Hotel.

@Jeff Willis might have gotten a motor for his Goodman unit(cheap unit) for $75 .

I usually end up with a Goodman or similar with no issues.Also, sometimes larger units are cheaper because they are overlooked by everyone chasing the "correct size"

Upon doing some digging of the town I found lakeport is a tourist destination with the lake, resorts and casinos projected flat economic growth over the coming years, a population that has decreased a hair but remained relatively flat, the crime rate index is well over national average and has increased over the past 10 years even with increased spending for public safety.

If you do not have time to do the basic research, you are playing roulette pure and simple (but not getting free drinks as you would in a casino)

Therefore, although the gambler may win in the short term, if they play long enough they'll always go bust.Is the casino (house) gambling or investing?

I have also thought about looking in CT at a beach front property that is near the Casinos to hopefully get more year round potential.

It is walkable to the stadium and new casino .9 miles.
