The $25K or $50K is not the issue. The issue is that if someone can "Homestead" their Florida property purchase while the prices are down, as they obviously currently are (in some places more than 50% off the peak prices), that person can cap their property tax near to or at the bottom of the pricing curve. That'll make a difference in the long run.
Just my .02 cents.

. Will help to get prop taxes down on waterfront back within reason. Greg - have friends in LHP, what I miss about that area was Pelican Cove, which was torn down and Tails went up which is out of business now if I remember. I have some sick pics of when I took one of the waverunners out when Hurricane Floyd skimmed our coast years ago, nothing like jumping 10-15ft sets

The MLS system here let's me auto-email properties that match what you want, no charge.
Some of these properties are given back to the bank in spotless condition, some trashed.
The real trick is to get one that was listed because the owner's bought a house and couldn't sell the previous one...then the house is mint.

What are you considering Tampa Bay? I may be looking soon but not in Hillsborough. Most likely Pinellas or Pasco.
If you or any other OSO member want foreclosures/bank owned properties anywhere in Tampa Bay emailed daily, contact me at [email protected].

Also something to be aware of when purchasing. I have dealt with people who claimed the taxes were low. First thing I asked was how long was the seller in the home? Many of the Realtors don't tell buyers the taxes being paid were going to change considerably once the house changes hands.

Get ready for a shocker if I run Pinellas/Pasco froeclosures, it will be in the hundreds...and hundreds...
Most are vacant, so easy to go check them out.
