Hello Beth,
Ever wonder why people retire in Florida............ and not in Minneapolis?
it's about 40 degrees you don't have to pay in heating costs :)
Tampa has been growing like crazy, and still is.
Maybe a look at the right place will make discover tons of affordable housing choices available trough the Crisis...... check my site for foreclosures, or call me for bank owned properties.......the best bang for the bucks!
