Hey Battlecat, that house didn't look too bad structually, i'd look into buying it for a song, gutting it,whitewashing it and reselling it for a tidy little profit,sometimes treasure can be what you make of it. i'd check the towns tax maps to see who owns it. what part of florida is it in ? i don't know about the real estate market down there, but up here in Maine the market has gone thru the roof. don't let everyone scare you about the disease's and bug's etc. (BLEACH KILL'S EVERYTHING).
Pat.
