Whatever

Anyway, not talking about the $208K average, which is low for this area of town by a loooong shot, talking about the 40.2%.

Not sure about all the figures but I know the $208K was the Orlando average 9-12 months ago and was closer to $250K this spring. As far as I have seen, prices are not coming down so all of the figures on the list could be old.

I'd say #10 is the most important. The rest don't matter to me but # 10 keeps me in buisness

Adam id be interested in knowing who you have do your "credit repair". Even though the demographic in which i cater to doenst need this too often, the price is right. The guy i have been referring business charges around 750-1000 so $100 sounds like a good deal...at this price I would bet that i wouldnt had to spend my time doing it for two clients this month.

in my locale, you could buy just short of a palace for the monthly cost of the H2

i guess there are pros and cons to locations of every kind. where you're paying +41%, you probably have a peachy selection of restaurants, this's, that's, and scenic places to scratch your truck.

where truck > big house, you probably have a spanking selection of chain restaurants and 1-6 hour drives to interesting truck-scratching salons
