S - don't be embarrassed by your NCYT and GGP %'s, well deserved!
Cold, wet, dull here, only been out for petrol and beer!
Curious, if you own property overseas, and don't go for many months / years, do you have house keepers / groundsmen to look after it?
We looked at getting a villa in Florida back in the 90's, £45k for 4/5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, pool, double garage etc. ( the then uk house had cost 60k for a 3 bed detached!! ). But local taxes and fees, and upkeep was mandatory and several thousands a year. Considered letting out ( I am not too keen! ) and would barely have covered the costs!
Instead it's near annual event to have 2 - 3 weeks in Florida, Kissimee / Orlando area in a villa with car ( 3.2l V6 turbo mustang last time! ) , do the parks, eat the steaks and lobster and shop!
