Now and then I find sites dealing with interesting subjects relating to Florida condos and I mention them on this blog. Here are direct links to 2 which are worth a look and both allow readers comments. 1) Florida Real Estate: Life Among The Toxic Assets

2) The Mystery of Selling Condos - SOLVED!

You might recall the below incident here at NCC, it was in the local papers, subject to a press release by the BCSO and reported further down on this blog at: http://nautiluscondosrules.blogspot.com/2008/08/developers-will-rent-to-just-anyone-to.html
Meth Lab Dismantled
"The Bay County Sheriffs Office Special Investigations Division dismantled a Methamphetamine Lab in Bay County yesterday afternoon, July 22, 2008.
Narcotics officers developed information that led to a search warrant on a residence at 1502 Lighthouse Road, Panama City Beach. Investigators discovered five children living within the home and an active methamphetamine lab in the cooking process in the closet and bathroom adjoining the master bedroom."
The developer got his unit back after filing some paperwork and you might be wondering what happened to the 2 adults. Both remain in custody with the next appearance set for a 4/28/2009 Pretrial Conference for Dunkley and one for Hammock on 5/26/2009. If you have the time or interest you can pull up their information at the below click on links:

In theory, NCC condos when rented out by the management firm, require background checks on applicants. Private rentals by owners and their real estate agents do not require such checks, hopefully the realtors fronting for the owners will do so on their own initative but it isn't so far a requirement. It should be!
The potential for additional criminal enterprise here at NCC is great with such a very high ratio of renters to owners (3 to 1).
At the time of the rental to Dunkley and Hammock even the most minor internet check of county records would have revealed their criminal pasts plus Dunkley had been evicted from another rental complex the prior year.
