Does it require specialized training our can someone with some skill operate them? I would assume they have programmers already that takes care of that end. In the town I live in there is only one shop with screw machines and as I understand it they have them for high production and to simplify for the operators so the employer does not have to have as much skilled labor.

When I got to Cincitucky, (the wife had a job offer) no one here was willing to pay what I was used to - nor did they demand the quality that I demanded of myself. So, I just went into a management position doing purchasing and procurement - monitoring budget vs. output etc... It's kind of boring, and I miss "creating", and also the job is never done. I liked Construction because when you where done, you could look at it and say " I built that". I can't get that satisfaction anymore. |
Well its getting bad here in Arizona too! We got those ass clowns from SoCal a while back and now we are being overwhelmed by the fu%#ing Mexicans and Rude Motherf&#king NY and NJ ****heads... Im looking to leave here myself...

I truly understand Bouyunter. Every time I see Disney World's Epcot centern on TV or wherever... , I say to everyone around me... :) I did part of that. I was a PM for many years untill I started my own Co.
If you ever get down to FLA, let's talk.. I have some contacts whom always looking for good finish carpenters, or PM's for uper end custom homes. These guys paying a few mil for their homes don't care how much a gal of gas cost.. :rolleyes: I do commercial stuff so I do care about gas prices.. :mad: |

I was born down in St. Pete beach, and always wanted to get back down there. But I grew up in Toledo, and yes, the winters were miserable. I started working in Construction at 18, eventually had my own Co., can't believe today that I managed to work outside those winters up there. Thanks for asking about Riley, unfortunately I had to put have him put down a week after my wife started that thread. If you feel like crying http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...&highlight=dog I'm in Hebron - you're not far at all. I've been boatless for the past 5 years, and just picked up the Pantera late last summer. Got some projects going on. What are you running? Funny, but true story. My wife and I got married on the beach in St. Pete 4 years ago. We were at a convention in Orlando for the weekend, and had already arranged to have the Notary and everything to do the service on Monday. Had to get the license 24 hrs. before the service. Went to the courthouse in Orlando, and after filling out all the paperwork and paying the fee, they handed us a gift pack. It included trial size shampoo, soap, maybe a candle, AND rubbers and shave cream. Sorry to be taking this thread so many different directions dw. Hey Bouy! I have had this Ohio home for 12 or 13 years. Built half of it with my own two hands. But I don't have a barn. A heated garage (too small for your boat), but no barn. Would have been fun though. I will keep an eye out. Always a possibility around there. Once I get back, I'll be touching base with everybody. You never know..... We definitely have things in common. I started on the job site as soon as I could hold a brick in each hand and did years in the Summers as a finish carpenter's apprentice. Love the multi piece crown work - it was my Dad's and later my own signature on our homes. We built em' one at a time. I'm sure you know what I mean. I'm sorry to hear about Riley. :( I can't look at the thread. My eyes tear up too easily as my dogs are my kids and you already told me the outcome. Guess we are old enough now not to care to admit crying over our pups. Anyway, I'll get in touch as soon as I get up there. My G/F might be stuck down here, but I look forward to meeting the Mrs. Bouy. :) |
Hey Paradox,
No problem on SE Fla RE. If you look to the west coast, use Mark. If you come over here, we will show you property AND a good time. :ernaehrung004: I am working my way to that MTI one property at a time. Could take a month, could take 10 years. I WILL do it however. DW. Let me know if I can help in SE Fla. |

Hey Mark, ever hear of South Bay Realty in Naples area?
They actually have a listing in a condo building HERE and I am having some difficulty getting a return on a written offer.....:eek: |

I was going to send them directly to you - then I found out it is in upper central FL. No good for either of us. :( |
As usual, in the office at 11pm and counting..
Yep, I have migrated more to commercial and waterfront now, except by referral or for OSO peeps. Phone has been ringing a lot more last few eeeks for sure. Since hurr season slowed. No short sale. I will give the guy 'til tomorrow and let you know. It's a listing in a Laud condo. A member here made an offer... |

Unless it's true Investors building a Condo portfolio, ur right to stick with the waterfront. The dry stuff is mostly Short Sales around here. I HATE SHORT SALES!!! |
Mark and Cash I will give one of you two a call if something would happen. I am not saying I'm smart or anything but I feel there will be a big opportunity in south Florida in the short future. I am really surprized at the west coast side opportunities then I re-thought and maybe the east coast will not take as big of hit as the west. More growth for year round on the east side I assume.
|
Seems like there is a lot of short sales on water front on the west side. I am just not that familiar with the west side as I am with the east.

That’s the only excurse I have left. Luckily, I spelled correctly on “that” post. :evilb: |
we always are looking for sales / service people for the office equiptment business here in the counties of Sarasota, Manatee, charlotte and some accts to ft Myers /Naples area.
like everywhere else in the country ecomomy is not what it was, but it will be back, right now color machines and scanning are hot so there is opportunity for motivated individuals.... i like the west coast of fl for its diversity in arts, theatre, culture and the business base is not so tourist dependent. just need more roads to get around and did i mention the boating !other than the water nazis is pretty decent year round for all types of boating interests |
Like I said in the past I think that the economy will come back and Florida once again with be the place to run to. I wouldn't know how to act if I had things easy anyways. I have been self employed for a long time and having a paycheck on Friday would be different. Copiercat what is the housing market doing in the counties that you mentioned. Again that is one reason I am interested in making a move for the chance of taking the advantage of a bottomed out housing market.
|
Well shure is a lot of hostility toward the Northeast. Must be because of the lack of a proper gene pool in the South and Midwest.:rolleyes:
|
buyers market for sure, the Best deal is in North Port ,a lot of brand new homes, that averaged $225,000 a year ago are listing for $145,000 now, however the same home in Sarasota would be selling for $325,000 and N port is only 20 miles south, like always location. i picked Nokomis as proximity to everthing and not crowded, got 6 semi wooded acres with a 1.5 acre lake east of 75 but 3 miles from 41, which is the north /south business rd, you would never find that in Sarasota, Bradenton is cheaper too but in my opinion
a crappy town |
I will have to check that out in North Port. Sorry to all you north easterners for whats being said. I think that everyone is talking in general and not speaking of everyone from there. My opinion is that the boating people are generally friendly no matter where they are from. But what do I know.

Florida will always be great medium or long term. Short term at the moment is a bich. Just accept it and work with it. All of my Investor buyers won't even think about selling for 5 years, give or take. There are absolutely no short term gains to be had in South Florida. Unless you are talking Manhattan, go med. or long term. But there is nothing wrong with that.

Outlaw thanks for the link to that site. Its interesting. What I have been finding out that nobody is happy with where they live. It really too bad. I would be happy here if it wasn't 26 degrees right now with an inch of ice. Ok I am happy only because most people in my area doesn't have power because of the ice but I was one of the fortunate ones that didn't loose it and have 3 girls staying with me from 26 to 35 years old until they get their power back on.
|
Thanks for the advice Mark and I would not be in for short term. You would have to agree that there should be more of an opportunity in a state that has a good the track record for growth. People will come back. In your opinion is the market bottomed out or will it go farther.

You got 3 girls with you and want to leave that behind and come to FLA with all the gold diger bytches?? Something is wrong here. I'll go to Siberia for 3 girls.. :evilb: |
Its only temporary until they get their lights back on. Are you still with your sweetie?

If you pick a city on the site, you can see stats and links to related forum subjects at the bottom...not all are negative. |
I think I will start a new thread on name the best things about where you live and see where it goes. I can't believe how far this thread has gone and it has all been interesting and not repetitive. Maybe if enough people jumped on this thread and started it off that way it would make people look in a more positive direction.

The problem with Southeast Florida is that most people are from somewhere else. They are usually malcontents that were not happy at home with family, friends and neighbors. So they move to the Florida Gold Coast and bring their FU attitudes with them. It's Like New York City with Palm Trees. I've lived in Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Peoria, but it was not until I moved to Parkland, Fla. (near Boca Raton) that I traded friendliness and politeness for rudeness and inconsideration. It's sad (but funny) when you go to the Miami Dolphins Stadium and find more people rooting for the New York Jets. But if you love boats and 365 boating, then South Florida is the CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE...

We have the Kansas City Chiefs and everyone still supports them even though they are losers. Of course they biacth and complain about them but they are still tailgating in 20 degree weather doing it. Thats one thing I would miss is the KC football atmosphere. Maybe an opportunity will come up and I can be one more in South Florida with a positive outlook.

when i decided to move from Ann Arbor Mich in 88 to Fla, i drove down the east coast and up the west coast stopping at towns all along the way to get the flavor of each, when i got to the sarasota area i basically stopped looking as it was as close to the things that i held high as importantance in a community i could attach myself too, with that said what I discovered was that Fla has 2 sides, the east coast is where people were from the northeast NY,NJ, MASS,Conn, and such the west coast is people from the rust belt ,Mich, OH, ILL,and that the 2 interestates separate the 2- 95 east,75 west,i chose west as it was people i was accustomed too and i liked the sunsets better than sunrise over the water and i really dont like dealing with atttitudes as well as i dont speak spanish and i like my car where i left it the night before. i havent locked my home or car in a VERY long time and never had a problem.
we get to tailgate here with several college towns not far and the bucs games in tampa 1 hour away, although everyone roots for the visiting team it seems |

:) Peoria. ... Main st. University st. PBR. Cat. Big Als',, BU. Avanti's and the best Gondola ni the world.. :evilb: Sounds familiar??? |
It definitely sounds like the west side is more friendly but it also sounds like the economy might be a little better on the east side. Sounds like more jobs on the east.

Absolutely. Florida will always be great in the long term. Waterfront seemed to bottom out a while ago. Might go down a little bit more, but I doubt very much more. Other types of property are a different story. As all of these Short Sales turn into foreclosures, starter homes and less than unique Condos will likely take another hit as future Auction comps. will likely drive down some values a bit. Recession is another factor. I would not be surprised to see another 10% drop on the lower end stuff. I do not see many Short Sales on waterfront homes. But starter homes - well, there are at least 400 on Cape Coral alone if memory serves me correct. It is somewhat amazing to see a home which was built new a year ago for $235,000 - now worth $130,000. :eek: Dry lots which at their peak were selling for say up to $80,000 - now worth $15,000. :eek: |
Mark you stated you are leaving down there in a while. Are you going back? I will probably plan a trip in mid Janurary to check things out. If you are available I would be interested in looking into what the place has to offer.

If you're nice and polite to people, they mistake it for weakness and try to take advantage of you.
The only reasonable people you'll meet here are from the midwest. If I wasn't so damn old and established here I would leave and start over somewhere else. Oh yeah, the tap water sucks and never gets cold. Most of the cops are idiots and couldn't solve a crime if their lives depended on it. Otherwise it's a pretty nice place to live. Note most of the SE FL coast consists of immigrants from 3rd world nations that have or are about to collapse and NY/ NJ refugees. Note every NY refuge is from Manhatten, never will you hear Flatbush, The Bronx etc. The Americans will complain that everything is better where they came from: Food, traffic, people The foreigners will be quick to explain that everything in their country was free or damn near free and they left paradise. I spent 8 years in Ft Lauderdale, 19 years in Boca Raton (land of the scam), graduated from the University of Miami (Coral Gables) and soon to be 7 years in Jupiter ( soon to be the new Boca). If you notice the trend I keep moving north to escape the mayhem. |
