I talked to a friend of mine today who used to be a Florida real estate agent and she told me that in this state a million dollar home with a down payment of $100,000 would cost over $8000 per month in payments including mortgage, property taxes, and homeowners association fee which most pricey homes have (homeowner's association). Of course, Maryland property taxes are probably higher than in Florida. So each month, Mr. & Mrs. Skinner have at least a $8000 nut to cover. No wonder they thank the God they don't believe in for that Clinton Cash.
