The wife and I are looking very hard at a move south sometime in the next year or so......

No place definite in mind. We can't afford the ridiculous prices in Florida.
But, we are looking hard at the southernmost states bordering Florida.
I want to be within a long days drive of SOBE, if thats any indication.
More to come.

i lived in FL for 2 years...got hit by 3 Hurricanes in 1 year..that was enough for me.i mover here in Tn.i can drive 8 hrs to hunt LOL!

My wife and I moved here in '89. Hurricanes can be scary but no different than a Tornado in the mid country or flooding from over flowing river banks, etc... . Theres something everywheres, depends on where your at.

Today we have a cold front over us and its in the 50's. Beats digging out of snow.

Anyone looking to move to Florida, forget the coast (unless you got 250k to a millon) the middle/North or South of the state is the place to go, the still alot of undevelope areas.

I pay $2,000.00 a year for my home up here in Iowa, and its very modest.
I saw numerous listings of nice ranch homes in the Dothan area, $75-125 thousand, and taxes were anywhere from "exempt" to $600.00 per year. Plus, they have real yards!!
Also, its only about 80 miles to Panama City Beach. 548 miles to SOBE.
That may sound like a lot, but I have driven 1600 miles one way to Miami for five years now.
548 is a one day drive.
