Property taxes are out of control all over the country but they are terrible in Florida. Homes that people have lived in for years are being assessed for crazy amounts of money. People are being forced out of their homes because they cannot pay these outrageous taxes.
A Miami real estate company is trying to make a difference in people’s lives and help propose the Portability of the Save Our Homes Assessment Cap. This is something that will help people keep homes that they have lived in and worked for their entire lives. Now that I have family in Floria I want to make sure that they aren’t forced out over such unfair practices.
It looks like I will be headed to Orlando for a conference in February; this is a great thing because I will be able to accomplish a few things. First off, Allison and the baby (the baby is due October 20th, I’ll make a big announcement when the baby is born) will be able to fly down to Orlando with me and then head down to her parent’s place. Then I am going to schedule a week of vacation to stay in Florida. I have always loved Orlando vacations because Disney, Busch Gardens and Sea World have been some of my favorite vacation spots. I am also excited about getting to Orlando because I may actually be able to do a Wired Kayaker podcast with a cool guy named Ashley and being in Orlando is going to help me achieve that.
