That would be $60,000 a year on a $3 million home. <br><br>About a year ago my credit was a mess from medical bills and some overspending. If you've never had that problem you can't believe how it messes up your life. It's hard to buy any big ticket item or even get a good job with bad credit. I found a blog, <a href="http://www.fastcreditrepairs.info/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fastcreditrepairs.info/</a> ,that really gave me the information I needed to get my credit and life straightened out. It helped me so well that I was recently able to buy a car and pay the lowest interest rate possible.

What I don't understand with Florida is, how can the local economy ( ie, hourly minimum wage, etc.) support these exhorbitant fees?  Florida is not like California, although the tax dept. would like to believe that.  Unless you are from a wealthy state, or a wealthy person, do yourselves a favor and don't get dissillusioned by the gorgeous house.  It costs a lot of money to upkeep a place like this.  I've been in the same predicament and it's not a pretty one.  You must be able to afford it, even if it was handed to you for free!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2009 11:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm going to raffle off MY lovely home too!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2009 4:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</guid><description><![CDATA[about $60 thousand]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2009 7:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/06/15/florida-couple-tries-raffle-approach-to-unload-their-mansion/</guid><description><![CDATA[In addition to the 2% property tax ($60,000 per year), a house that size in FL costs a fortune to run and maintain; i.e. electric, water, air conditioning, pool and landscape maintenance, etc. <br><br>Don't become disillusioned by the $10 ticket to win this prize.
