Tampa Bay Area Seniors Keep Cool While ExercisingIt's too hot to walk or run outside in the summer, you say?

tampa homes for sale: Millennial's Ask About Buying a Home - 05/05/18 07:30 AM

I just graduated! I’m ready to start enjoying my
life…why should I buy a house now?
 
This is a reasonable question. Buying a home is a large commitment.
It is also one that will be likely to keep you in one place for quite
some time. If you are thinking about a series of job transfers, or
significant changes in your lifestyle over the next few years, you
should think carefully about taking on that large responsibility.
Look at the real cost of owning a home compared to renting a

tampa homes for sale: Beware of Fake Home Ads - 08/04/17 11:54 AM
Beware of Fake Home Ads
With ever-rising rents, scammers are targeting desperate would-be renters through the popular classified ad website, Craigslist.
There are many variations of the scam, but they all have the same goal: to separate unsuspecting people from their money. Here are a few of the most common:
Credit report scam: The would-be tenant is asked to pay for a credit report, but the advertised property is bogus. It’s either not an available rental, or the scammer has no connection to the property. They make their money from the credit reports.
Rent-to-own services: The scammer collects an “enrollment fee” and a monthly “service fee” to get … (10 comments)

It is the Fed, so not many are willing to step out and argue with it, especially with the optimistic outlook presented. Currently, the Fed expects another increase this year, three next year and three more in 2019; be … (3 comments)

Among those younger than 35, the desired home size is around 2,500 square feet compared to the 2,065 square feet averaged by those 65 … (5 comments)
