Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I have been thinking about buying a second place to live in the winter months. I currently live in central Ohio (Dublin) and I am thinking about FL. I recently moved (coming on 3 years) from FL to OH. Yesterday a good friend who still lives down there called and said he and DW had been scouting some Condos around their place just to get an idea of what happened to pricing. We lived there (Orange Park, FL) for 20 years and we have a Granddaughter still there. The prices, he says, are really down, like 100K-110K for a new Condo Townhouse with 2 BR 2 BA. Just the basics but a place to live for little money. We would buy cash and winterize the current Condo with a Daughter here to look after it. We would go down there from about Nov-Mar. Anyone do this and, if so, we would be interested in hearing about how it works out for you and any pitfalls and other things to look out for.
