It's time to look for an old "handy man" special house....... ;-)
==================
Florida is so expensive any more,
we lived in a place were we paid different amounts season/off season
either one was expensive....

Yes, I have heard this from a friend near Tampa. He can't afford to buy
even a small house there in any section around the city. He now regrets
not buying a home when he first move there 25 years ago. Sometimes Mobile
Homes can be found in excellent condition and for a fraction of what a
house costs. I would rather live in a MH than rent an apartment as rent
is GONE and you have nothing - but the MH can always be sold. You also
have a lot more room and can do as you please with it, inside and out.
You can stay in a trailer-court (not all are dumps full of trashy people)
or put it on a piece of land which will grow in value as time passes.
That's what my old friend is looking into now.

We (husband, me and the boys, mom & step-dad, if we can get them to come)
will be moving back down in a few years, we thought about the double wide MH
but we lived through a few big hurricanes (Andrew being one) so my husband
said no way, however Naples don't get hit quite as often for some reason, my
husband grew up in Iowa/Colorado but moved toFl, Keys young so he had his
share of them. My gram lives about 5 min from the beach in Naples and has
only got hit four (big) times in the last 10-15 years. Me i like NC we go
there often
