In Atlanta, some property owners pay homeless people to live in abandoned homes as a security measure.In early November, Rameau drove a woman and her 18-month old daughter to a ranch home on a quiet street lined with swaying tropical foliage.

I also go to the Tropical REIA in boynton beach, been part of that one for years.

And the money is gone... all spent on super strong margaritas on a tropical island.You can say that the bank can track down the original guy they lent the money to, and go after him.

Everything was going well until first tropical storm flooded with 18 inches of water.

I know there are many BP members that would love to see photos and investment costs and rents for Panama and other tropical destinations! 

Before moving to Florida I lived in Revere mass for 45 years  Make it Happen Steve Thanks Steve Smith, I hope one day be able to retire some where with tropical weather.

The problem I have is I grew up in a tropical country, even after 10 years in California & Vegas, I have not lived through any winter/snow.

Kenya has moderate tropical climate from the highlands to the beaches all the year round.

We find the best places to live on the latitudes of the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn.
