Relocating to Florida?
830553
My son has lived in Gainesville for 2 years. Not been any  hurricanes there so far since he has been there, not one from last year touched them.  \nHe says its always humid or raining tho'. \nIt is a huge "college"  town with the University of Florida as the big school, so I think a job above that age level and skill would be easier to get than a min. wage job.

I live in central Florida and go to the beaches there and clearwater. It is awesome. Are you planning on moving there?

I've done some reading on this subject, and I also have a younger brother in Miami who has bought land down there, by Naples.  We discuss real estate often.\nI was reading an article that said a lot of the people who have been living in South Florida for a long time are all starting to buy places up north.  The reason is that so many people have flooded into South Florida, it has lost the "ruralness" it had 20 years ago.  So, a lot of the long timers are looking to escape the boom that has taken place in South Florida. If I were looking to invest in Florida, I'd probably look more towards the north eastern part of the state.

i live in a town in florida called leesburg and i love it, everything there you need, not a great mall but a mall but the only problem is in the winter alot of people from up north come down and most of them live in a section called the villages in lady lake and traffic gets really hectic and the oldies get in them golf carts and try to rule that area, plenty of jobs a great pool hall (franks place)about 60 miles from daytona beach so the hurricanes miss you pretty good,youll get used to the heat the longer your there,, i just love it,,, so to you good luck and enjoy..

If you are moving to Tampa, go to South Tampa.  I have lived in Tampa my whole life and have seen every area.  Trust me South Tampa is where it is at.

I just moved from Florida.  It is a right to work state.  My last employer had a 52% turnover rate.  Raises went out once a year in the ten to twenty five cent per hour range.  The employer I had before that was pretty much the same.\n\nAuto, health and homeowner's insurance are outrageously expensive.  Housing is also getting to be ridiculously unaffordable.  \n\nWithout knowing what qualifications/experience you have or what type of employment you are looking for it is hard to give a more specific answer.  I had 10 years of experience in my field and made what other people would have considered a decent hourly rate.  I was struggling terribly to make it paycheck to paycheck.

I'm not 100% sure what you want to do, but here is a link to the Florida Department of Financial Services.\n\nYou can apply for a license there.

It's a great investment.  Housing is on the rise in Florida, especially Orlando.  I lived near Orlando for awhile and the population was growing 5%-10% every year and Orlando is the tourist capital of the state.  The downside is the crime rate.    Being a former law enforcement officer, I can tell you that crime is rampant down there.  Not so much right in the tourist sections, but anywhere outside of it, forget it.  Homicides, rapes, robberies and shootings.  You see, Florida is a low paying state, so there are lots of low and no income families which breeds crime.  On the other hand, it's the sunshine state and it's beautiful all year long.  Good luck.

you should try rent.com or the site that Yahoo! has for real estate.  Just type in rental homes, Florida on the Yahoo! homepage and the Yahoo real estate link will come up.  It's a good source of information.  A nice starting place if nothing else.

Haha! I lived in Buffalo for about 10 months! \nLovely city, I love the people and it is really wonderful... I didn't even mind the snow, because atleast that is something to show for cold weather.\n...\nBUT the economy there SUCKS! I don't think I've ever seen such blatant political corruption in the USA, either. \nYou can find a better paying job just about anywhere else in the country.\nYou can find MORE jobs just about anywhere else in the country. \nFlorida's economy is doing great, from what I hear.\n\nIf your career options are important to you, YES I would move. \n\nIf you are in love with the city, unconditional of your possibilities to make money, and really hate the hot humid weather of S. Florida... well- stay in Buffalo, it's an otherwise awesome place :-)
