Well I was born and raised in Florida most homes there are built of CBS
block with concrete headers. A lot stonger home than anything built in most
north eastern locations due to hurricanes and such. Florida also have very
stict building codes and has always had. That is hardly a trailer for sure
and probably a top dollar home in the Miami area but then again it is
probably a no where near what a house like would cost in NY or NJ. As for
the kitchen take out what doesn't work or you don't want and remodel it and
good luck with it.

I purchase a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house on 2 acre of land in the Kendal are in
1967 half finished for 30K which was a lot of money then. I finished it and
had a fire place similar to that as well as a pool and a 5 horse stable. I
sold it for twice what I paid in '70. I understand the house sold for well
over a million dollars just a couple of years ago with few changes.
