Quote from itrader1:
Yes, the Keys have crystal clear water and reefs galore. One of the differences is that most of the islands are connected via bridges, so you are not isolated and can drive from key to key - it's about 80 miles or so from the top (Florida City) to the bottom at Key West which is 90 miles from Cuba.
So if you live in the middle keys like Marathon you can be in Key West in one hour and you can be be in Miami in one hour and a half. You can go shopping in the bigger keys or Florida City or Miami and also get a flight out to Europe etc. It's the best of all worlds. You also have DSL in most of the keys and Internet Cable is being installed at this time.
As far as tax advice is concerned - I thought Income Tax Accounting at the university and am familiar with most of the intricacies of off-shore money strategies. While there are some tax saving strategies, they are basically available to big business only. Tax shelters and organizations set up solely for the purpose of tax avoidance are not legal and that's what these advertised specials amount to. Just check what the Justice Department is doing in this are and you will se that the good old days are over.
