  1. Great episode guys, people dont seem to understand this is not 2008 Florida. Economy has diversified, logistic centers are moving in etc.
    Guys I think Lakeland is going to be a very hot market in the coming years, its just around the corner, and that whole area between orlando and tampa.

    All the best
    Anthony
