I remember watching a documentary on the US space program (featuring the Apollo program) in the late 1980s. It was narrated by a woman from the point of view of growing up near Cocoa Beach. What was the name of it?

I don’t know if this is the exact same program that you are asking about, but it is a very well done one from the start of the space program through the Apollo missions. This is one of my favorite ones. I hope that you like it too.

What kind of market value can I expect from like 2-3 from now…? It is a newly built 2009 townhome, 2 floors, 1 garage, great community, in Florida, Tampa ( At Falkenburg Road, 20 minutes from Tampa International Airport, etc etc…? thanks any hints/ideaS?
the price is 110.000us right now…

No one really knows what the market will be like in 2 or 3 years. Right now real estate prices in Tampa are really depressed so it is hard to imagine that they will go much lower. Right now the economy is in really bad shape but the financial sector is at least stabilized for the near term and things may be picking up a little.

You need to compare the property to others that have sold in the area recently(after the crash). If it is the same or less then it probably is a good buy.

This multi family residential property is a great money maker! The house and duplex are on two lots separated by a privacy fence. Check out the property in this video and visit our website for more info: www.ZMAinvestments.com.

I’m visiting family next week in Ruskin, Fl which is on the Bay. My father is staying on his 40 foot yacht but can’t take it out because he didn’t get it insured yet so I’m going to fish off a pier about a 1/2 mile away. What can I expect to catch and what is the best bait? What is a cheap but decent pole kit that I can pick up at somewhere like Walmart? I don’t want to spend a lot because no one else fishes and I don’t want to bring it back on the plane. When I fished on the Gulf in the past I used shrimp. I think live bait is the best. Also, how much is a temp. fishing license right now for out of state visitors and where are some places that I can get one? If you don’t know, I can research that when I get there. If you live near Ruskin,Apollo Beach, Sun City, St.Pete, or Tampa where are some "hot" spots to fish? I see a lot of people on that huge causeway coming from Clearwater/ST.Pete. Isn’t there a fishing area there???? Thanks!

The most info you can get is found on CPT MEL’s sight http://www.capmel.com/

About all of you questions can be answered on his sight,
And you can always go to the local walmart and pick up a cheep reel/pole and get your license, also you will find many employes and customers there that will give you tips on fishing the waters near by.

I’m searching for a friend. Mary Ann Eicke. She now lives in Florida, relatively close to Tampa. I believe she is married to a minister whose last name is Wade, Ward, or perhaps Word. Mary Ann sells. or sold real estate.
She is near 48-50 years old, but, I’m sure she doesn’t look her age.
Mary Ann sold Mary Kay cosmetics in the 1980′s, and spent a lot of time in Tennessee during that time.
She could be your neighbor or friend, or perhaps sold you real estate. If you know her, please, let her know a friend is searching for her. My maiden name was Adams.

I know this sounds crazy, but last year I found my grandson whom I hadn’t seen in nearly 10 years by doing basically the same thing.
Thanks for your help.

I sent you an IM with her addy. If we are thinking of the same person. She lives in Clearwater.

We get one day without the kids and are looking for a more adult, quiet thing to do. We are quite open to any suggestions. We have went to Apollo Beach (Canaveral Seashore) in the past to the nude beach. But that’s about an hour drive. Anything closer to Orlando?

Check out Cypress Cove Resort in Kissimmee.

Nice place, they also have a restaurant, bar, salon and masseuse on site.

Hello.

I’ve been speaking with many people in S. Florida since I would like to invest in some real estate while the market is very low and I feel has bottomed out. I was looking at low income housing: I’ve heard of people buying $25,000 homes in Ft. Myers, fixing up and renting. Section 8 condo’s in Ft. Lauderdale. The state gives you money and the tenants are usually okay because they do not want to lose they’re section 8 status. Lastly, buying double wides in Tampa and either renting or selling them. Any suggestions? Thank you.

You have hit on an excellent idea. There are tons of condos for sale at 1970s prices. It is really unbelievable. If I lived in that area I would be buying all that I could.

However beware of section 8 tenants. They are usually very undesirable tenants and can really trash the place. Sure the government pays part of the rent but you have to collect the rest and that is not always easy. The apartment also has to be inspected every year and if Sect. 8 doesn’t like something you will be the one to make the repair.
