I grew up in a tiny town - so tiny that it doesn't show up on some
maps. Until last year, however, I've spent all my adult life in big
cities. I'm now a happy citizen of a small rural city, along with
about 12,000 other people, give or take a few. When I announced
that I was moving away from the city, my friends were worried that
I'd 'miss out' on all the excitement

Recent world events have instilled a sense of fear in anyone who
turns on the television or opens a newspaper. People are more aware
of their vulnerabilities, and more interested in purchasing
insurance. The irony is that the same disasters, disease and acts
of war have created a negative trend in the property and casualty
insurance industry, to the point where these types of insurance are
more expensive and more difficult for consumers to obtain.

After listing a house several times and receiving little or no
response from prospective buyers most people begin to wonder what

they've been predicting a drop in home equity. And, thanks to a
much-needed roping in of runaway inflation by the Federal Reserve,
interest rates are not such a hot deal any longer. Many are taking
the "sit, wait, and watch" approach, but you want to take action.
Lucky for you, there are advantages to be drawn from this dying
horse.

Most articles about active adult retirement communities state this
important fact: Baby boomers have turned 60. Some will choose to

When trying to decide whether to rent or buy . . . remember the
advantages of buying. A home can be an important factor in building
a solid financial foundation for your marriage. Your once-a-month
payment is no longer cash flowing into someone else's pocket. With

building equity. The longer you own your home, the larger your
equity.

than it is to rent and pay someone else's home mortgage loan for
them. By purchasing your own home you are investing in your own

there are many programs specifically tailored to meet your
needs.

When we first considered moving to Florida, our first thought
was to look for a new home in Pinellas County or Hillsborough
County. After all, Pinellas County is close to all those great Gulf
beaches, not to mention Clearwater and St. Petersburg. Hillsborough
County had the city of Tampa. There were lots of good schools here
in the Tampa Bay area, too, which was important for us since we
have two children. Inquiring around, we learned

Renting a home is not uncommon as it is clear that some people
cannot afford to buy their own home. The natural assumption is that
it works out cheaper to buy a home over a long period of time.
However, where many of us cannot afford the down payment on a new
purchase of property, so renting a property on a yearly lease may
be the way to go while saving for your first house.

With property prices seemingly on the rise and rising quickly in
Tampa, there is a lot of talk about a real estate bubble in the US
and dire predictions that the so-called bubble could burst, leading

parts of America, it isn't justified in Florida, particularly in
the Tampa

area, there is so much more to Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay Florida real
estate is one of the hottest markets

If you're new to Florida, then you've probably already realized
how diverse culture is in the Sunshine State. The cost of living,
schools, and people will vary from the Georgia, Tennessee and

life in Florida is that you're not alone. Most of the people who
live there have relocated from another state; therefore, you
