$4k in taxes...wow

How am I supposed to buy a house?? Get a loan for a 50x50 lot in mastic?

I can't wait for real estate to calm down around here...it's just insane!

175k is a bargain. All you have to do is talk them down in the price. You spend $50,000 to fix it up, and you're set.

175k for that piece of shyt hells no

Here in Miami there asking 250K for just 1 bed + bathroom apartment. Not including taxes and among other things of course.

how much are taxes down there on that?

about 5k or 2%, on the ocean its more, but you get "free" wi-fi so its worth it...i guess /sarc

LOL!

Come to Cali my friend! This 3 bed 2 bath I'm in right now... $535k.

the housing market is tanking. now is NOT the time to buy. maybe mid 2007. i'm in the market for a house too, but everything in my area is dropping like a brick from a balcony.

I like that... "Detached Frame Construction". It sounds like code for "They ran out of nails during construction".

............."with Outside Entrance ...........

As opposed to, an inside entrance?

You could always move to the Keys. On average, housing has gone up 400 to 500% in the last 6 years.
