Hi all

I know…I know it’s probably not the best place to look and ask

Wife and I are looking for a place in Florida. Currently live in Wisconsin 🥶. We like the Ft Myers area/Destin/Tampa area but are open to others as well. Preferred close to the water. Looking to make the move within the next year. Shoot me a pm if you have one you would consider selling or know of someone. I am not a realtor.

Thanks much!

Will

No beach access in Ft. Meyers, it rains every day in the summer and it's way south. No mosquitos there because they spray at night.

I spent 9 months working in Fort Walton Beach (across the bridge from Destin) and loved it. Good fishing\hunting and close to IH10 if you want to travel. I was shocked at how cold it got in Fort Walton Beach until I realized it's the same latitude as central Texas where I live. Destin is a tourist town.

I worked in Tampa for 6 months and hated everything about it.

Dear Will,

Being the holder of more than one real-estate title I receive about 25 to 30 calls a week and numerous mailings from sleazebag realtors fishing for new listings.

Why is it that your post is worded exactly like those mailings and calls I receive?

Thanks for all your responses!!! I am not a realtor and quite honestly don’t like to work with them at all. I have went through a few down there and have since stopped viewing through them. I am a landlord and am perfectly capable of drafting a offer myself and getting a deal done. No need for a realtor. Did you have a place you may want to sell in Florida or just concerned that I am a realtor? Thanks much

Man If I was going to move to Florida

It would be North Florida 100%, somewhere between Okefenokee swap, hugging the Alabama.

Fouck living ‘near the water’. An hour’s drive would be nice enough near the water. Yet back enough to soften property values from the over-hype inflated numbers.

Something near a desolate one traffic light town, where old men sell boiled peanuts and the black folks are friendly. Possibly near an inland lake, Apalachacola bay,maybe near some springs to do some clear water inland kayaking and fishing.



That’s just me. If you want a shîtty condo life, horns honking, spring break foolishness, Florida gone Freaknik, NFL football team jive…that’s all you

Best part of Florida is the Governor! Pensacola is a nice place, has the water attributes of FL but much more livable than the central FL west coast. I live in Tallahassee but no water here, the Clearwater area is nice also.

Best thing about Tampa is it has an International Airport so you can usually get the heck out of there quickly.

Now isnt the time.

Florida and Arizona are great places to make a bundle on real estate.


When your friends are buying,
don't.

When they are selling "The Vacation Home" so their broke ass
doesn't lose everything in a down economy, buy.


Both are very vulnerable to economic fluctuations.

Whilton122, I guess my question would be why? If you can swing it, the thing to do is January-April if only to get out of our cold weather. That's what we do, but probably for only another year or two. Like others have said, northern Florida looks better to me with less people, better fishing, closer to better hunting. Prices down there are going up like a rocket, even in central Florida where we are in Poinciana. The wife says the housing prices are nuts there, but I tell her that we are looking at it from a Midwest income standpoint and those East Coast people flocking there are paying 4k a month just to rent and they want out of that rat race. We aren't beach people, but either coast is accessible in an hour or two. Going anywhere in central FL. you are going to feel like a minority, because you are unless you are fluent in Spanish. I wouldn't know how to hunt there with leaves on the trees year around. People target shoot there, but I've yet to meet a hunter. Traffic is awful and getting worse. Getting there on the Interstate is no treat either. We get the Orlando news and they can fill up an hour with murders, car jackings and assaults. Culture shock when they need to flesh out the half hour news here with the weather and high school football highlights.


My other auto is a .45

Poinciana? just outside of Kissimmee?
Yes, Yes, Yes, move there...



Nevermind the language being spoken in the public location this video was shot in, Poinciana is 56.51% White so you have better than a 50/50 chance of atleast one of your neighbors speaking English.

I went down there with my mom for a week back in 2008 and we found a place in Cape Coral. We should have bought 3 at the time a lot smaller then we wound up with to lease out as prices are crazy now. The population in Cape Coral doubles around Christmas and my parents say the toll bridge keeps some of the riffraff out. When the market changes we may buy down there again.

08 would have been the time in that area, they fell hard and fast during the housing crash but sprang back quick and fabulously.

They’re going to be some deals in the impact area for all cash buyers but you’re not going to be able to get reasonably priced insurance. The overpriced insurance you can buy will not come close to making you whole from windstorm or flood damage.

Know a guy that paid 510k for 2300 sq ft w/pool March of this year. He picked Punta Gorda partly because the hurricanes hardly ever land there. Day before yesterday they spent best part of 24 hours getting literally pounded, while the eye just hung around without much movement. They are fine, house lost a few shingles, some soffit. Surge did not reach them. Power gonna be out maybe two weeks or more. Ian was supposed to land here, I got lucky.

Someone mentioned yankeetown FL. Not a bad place….just north of Crystal River. Great inshore fishing area. Ingles, FL just down the road has the real estate deals. I know w neighborhood with large lots of 15-30k.

Surprisingly the deals on wet houses were few and far between after the hurricane Hermine surge flooded the Crystal River area in 2016.

I was up and down every street for weeks looking and the few that did hit the market were not being given away.

FEMA was quite friendly to everyone on that storm.

Quite a few did hit the market after being rehabbed but at sky high prices.

I got one, but it never hit the market and it was of unique circumstances.
