The key to me is where in Florida, followed by house particulars, neighborhood, etc.

We all know there are normally three keys in real estate. In Florida, there is a fourth: what mayhem is close.

Don't be afraid to rent for a year or so while you get the details figured out.

Transferring ownership is not particularly difficult depending on your financial health...but you need to take a deeper dive, especially tax posture, etc. Rentals can be a great write-off in the short term if you plan on selling.
