Owning a house in Orlando just became less appealing. I have to admit with the prices of real estate being the lowest they’ve been in years it’s tempting to at least look at what’s available but as a single female I’ve found that apartment living is just my style. Plus with a new bill in the state senate I am glad I’m not a home owner. This bill would allow home insurance rates to increase by 33% in the next three years. And of course the only one that would benefit from this is the insurance companies. Now I know Florida is plagued with hurricanes but 33% seems a bit much. Well looks like I’ll enjoy apartment living for a bit longer because while owning a house is tempting there are always hidden fees and responsibilities that I am just not ready to put up with.
