Trying to figure out what my best option is here's the situation Own a small 3 2 home in south Florida in my name for almost 20yrs because I've owned for so long my taxes are extremely low around $800 a year.

After reading your post I went to Cnn.com.It is extremely sad anytime an incident like this occurs.

Joe,We are obviously in an extremely unique and one of a kind economic situation.

Its extremely frustrating, especially since I'm trying to land my 1st deal.

The best advice for agents is to become extremely proficient at one area... it may be working with investors (many agents say they are experts at it yet they don't own a single property), waterfront properties, 1st time home homebuyers.. etc.

Some key facts to keep in mind:Their Look: Oval in shape and reddish brown, these flat and wingless parasites are only 4-5 mm in length and 1.5-3mm wide, making them extremely difficult to detect.Their Bite: A real life vampire, they only feed at night with up to 5 minute intervals at a time.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

Just my 2 cents and I hope it doesn't add confusion Hi Frank, My reasoning for picking the area are: the upcoming developments that have been planned for the area (I'm counting on the value of whatever property I purchase increasing), its proximity to the lake and trails (which is good for me because I ride a bike and a longboard in the summers as well as for future buyers), the accessibility to lake shore drive ( I work in Lincoln Square and Lake Shore Drive makes getting north extremely painless), and the overall beauty of the area.

I'm extremely new to all of this, and have been diving into all the BP youtube videos & doing a little research in my own town to expand my knowledge.

Any and all information would be extremely helpful and is much appreciated.
