RE:"BTW I looked through 4 articles about the reasons why S.FLA's housing market is booming" The Clinton tax break gets some press, not a lot. It's like the cat that ate the canary. Tax breaks are tuff to repeal too. With all due respect, it's just a major part of a big puzzle where all the stars lined up. For instance AG turned on the spigots after 9/11. Lending practices were loosened greatly and mortgages passed on to Fannie and Freddie. Then there is the fraud. But all that will come out in the wash. Sad thing is, a guy like you is toast for a long while. Sure you can get some affordable housing somewhere. Like Bumforck, Arkansas. Or Danville, Illinois.
