Thanks everyone. I haven't seen my honey since Sept so the hormones are jumping....lol Has anyone been to Evita's in Ochi? It's an Italian/Jamaican mix restaurant. I plan on taking Ray there for his birthday...

I have never been to Evita's, but I had my wedding dinner @ Spring Garden Cafe. The food is great! The number is 795-3149. The restaurant is about a 5-minute drive from Evita's.

I couldn't move to cali, too far from the east cost, where the family is. People are talking about north florida, and the tampa area. anyone no something about the home prices there. I've been thinking about moving to queens, in nyc because i'm sick and tired of apartment living, I want a house with a backyard. I live on the top floor in my house, but with kids, u need somewhere for them to play.

They run a full range; the median home price up to December 2007 was north of $200k. There are condos for sale that start at $180k for 1/1. Of course, we are starting to see an increase inventory of foreclosures. Shoot, I keep thinking that's the way Aaron and I are going to buy a house.

mrs. scott u are a gem. I wanted to post about the seafood place I had dinner, but didn't want to say, its off the other end of main street to the right. lol when we went there was a private party at the outdoor side. it looked nice, but we ended up eating dinner inside.

Orlando wasn't too bad either. Our pastor from Jamaica now lives in Orlando and we went to visit him for Christmas. That man was giving us a tour of all the available homes in his neighbourhood. It was hilarious. But the homes were gorgeous. I haven't really looked at the prices there, but I have heard good things about surrounding areas.

I concur....would most def buy a foreclosure...that is where u get the most for your money. call the local bank and ask them for their foreclosure list, that way, u can see what is there before it hits the market. there is a better word than foreclosure list. but for the life of me i can't remember the official name of the department.

Thanks Jengles...I will keep that in mind. Buying a foreclosure home for a bargain would work with the high taxes and insurance. I am just waiting to see what comes out of the property tax reforms that was voted on in Florida last week. I just want to see what is the solution for insurance, especially in hurricane-ravaged So. Fla. That's what I think has made it so difficult for much of us down here.

let's see, if your going down main street away from dunn's river all i know is you veer to the right, its well past the clock and i do belive its on the road going towards Couples...but when u get down there ask anyone. i'm sure your S.O. knows where it is, if he's from Ochi.

You know JAlove, this is a common myth about folks with California. This state ain't over crowded for nothing, lol. There are tons of ways to live good in California. Depends on where in the state you live. This state is so big and there are so many big cities with great jobs that its easy to find a place and fit in somewhere. If you want some leads just let me know. I must say that to start off in California...you have to start low and then upgrade later. So many people think CA is expensive cause they are trying to live outside of their means...but having property...ANY property in CA is a great investment. So buy low, and sell big.

PUSH!: Pray Until Something Happens!
