I live in Orlando, Florida and although the traffic is horrible, it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I am surrounded by distressed home owners and have 5 mobile home parks within a 2 mile radius and many more within a very short distance.

We're starting to experience a shortage of homes: Homes of comparable rate/etc... are (these are pending, not closed sales) - and all homes are now selling at/over asking price (these are within a mile of the house):List PriceBldg SqFt3990002014379900146736000022472850001616The home we're looking at is 1900sf.The cash is also ours, so no hard money fees (it's either in an R/E, or getting 2% at Wells Fargo).I'm beginning to understand our attraction to the seller - as he doesn't have to wait for seasoning and he can move on.
