@Rat Bastid Prices and taxes vary a lot depending on where your purchasing the house. As well as the neighborhood. Which is a serious concern as well.
bcschief nailed it.
Land prices vary a lot as well. I could have bought more acreage than I know what to do with and built a house on it for about what I got into now. The out laying neighborhood where the nearest shopping is, a bit sketchy. The crime rate was higher than average. But then again having a house built on 10-15 acres 20 minutes away was an interesting thought. I could have put a hell of a house on that with an insane garage.
Your buddy will have to wise up and carefully hunt around. If he is cash limited, he may end up boxing himself in a place not so great.
As far as gator, snakes and other big things that can hurt, kill and eat you, that’s what a pistol if for. Though I doubt you’ll be in “The Woods” needing one.
Do so know what animals are protected though!
BIG DOLLAR FINES for screwing that one up!
