My theory is the police feel bad for anyone driving a minivan and would rather spend their time giving tickets to people in sports cars or luxury sedans.

What income can be generated from food marts (lottery tickets, junk food, cigs, sports drinks, etc). 

It would be better to pay whatever it is for testing soil out of pocket before closing and lose the money if tanks leaking then to buy the house as a gamble and have to re-mediate afterwards.

Buying in a hot market with the hope that it appreciates is essentially a gamble. 

I did a sports travel tour that took us into town for a couple days and fell in love with the small town feel and baseball heaven.

I can tell you that Tampa has everything, from major sports teams to beaches and theme parks.

. :) however my gut feeling - without complete understanding of their risks, structure, leverage, performance in a bad market it is quite a gamble for NPN...

Some make the transition better than others, but rarely will I find a sub sporting an Ivy League degree and breeding.

It goes from Steve to Bill and then to Mary, Spend spend spend--until they are living on a park bench like so many sports stars have done.Just my 2 cents!

@Jay Hinrichs had a sports jacket that I wore for years that went with almost anything.
