Thinking about moving to Florida...

One of my sisters is a VERY long time real estate agent in FL. The only homes available in the entire state are knock-downs and derelicts. They're building as fast as they can since there's so much money to be made but getting building materials is slow, expensive and hampered by rip-off artists.

Good luck with that.

affordable cheap rent?
good luck with that one.
since everyone is moving here, rents are skyrocketing.

maybe if you live out in the middle of nowhere?
but you won't find any "good music scene" out there.

as long as you don't mind being completely bored out there in the middle of nowhere, you might find decent rent.

and don't forget how HOT it gets. seriously, it's over 90 degrees almost every single day for about 5-6 months with over 90 percent humidity.

so it ain't like you're gonna be out "gardening" unless you're Really hearty and in very good physical condition, or otherwise know how to deal with that intense heat.


the closer to the beach you get, the higher the rents go.
obviously-never-updated 2br apts are $1800 if you're lucky enough to find that rent. And I'm talking northeastern florida, not down near miami or lauderdale.


don't get me wrong, I love the beaches here! and our Governor rocks.
but landlords are ruthless and treat you like you are scum of the earth because you want to rent instead of buy.


Good Music Scene?

Well, Good Luck, OP. Let ME know if you find any of that in Florida, because I've been looking for the same for years and have still not found it.

and if you don't already know the songs "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Freebird" you should start learning them now if you want to play some gigs. lol....

peace

Im thinking new mexico

Can you deal with 60 year old Harley dudes?

Never go there hostel

I'm in Vegas right now and it's meh. It was my stepping stone out of california but I wouldn't make it home here.

And it's too blue (dem) and cold in the winter
GG

Don’t do it, OP! Lizards and stuff!

You would be lucky to find reasonably prices. Major housing shortage. Gov santos. Hopefully prices will fall. Taxes cheap.

Not Cape Coral...I mean it's okay and will always be like home...but it's expensive to live there...in a decent place with no roaches in a nice area...expect like $1500 rent if you move there or more for a decent house.

I live in Florida and NO it is not cheaper rent than California. I pay the more here than what I paid in Sacramento a few years ago when I lived there.

It used to be cheap, before everybody came here. Jobs pay a lot less too.

Please don’t move here. We full and remember we do bath salts and eat people’s faces for fun. You are welcome.

The no jobs thing is accurate. Make sure you have something lined up before you get here. If you require employment, that is.

I don't need a job, as long as things are cheap enough, but I am musician and would like to play out occassionally but it's not a requirement.

I want rent on 1bdrm or studio to be <$1200

Coastal states especially Florida may not fair too well per this man if he is correct. Go to timestamp 37:40 if you want to know the exact date the micro nova is due per his studies.

$1500 for a whole house is cheap in my book!
In most parts of calif it's $4000+ for that.

You won’t find rent that cheap in north Florida/Panhandle. One bedroom is 2k plus here and two bedroom is almost 3k plus here. Renting a house is a little cheaper but good luck finding one.

See outsiders!

Florida will be sunken by a volcano! Texas will survive and seems less worrisome.

The Torah gives no such date and florida has inland areas... Texas has coastal areas..duh

If there is a magnetic reversal the 200mph winds will kill most people all over the world... I personally dont expect to live more than 20 more years but who knows

GG

I've never been to CA...and wow...well there ya go then...that will get ya a decent 2 bedroom house with a small lani...maybe even a small pool. Ya never know...have to look around...Maybe 2000 for a 3 bdrm...

Meh, when did the deny three times stop?

I live in FL. It is nice, but don't go too rural. St petersburg is super nice, but expensive, Seminole is nice. Stay away from orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville.

made the move last year. look into St. Augustine all the way down to Daytona. Pretty affordable part of FL and between Jacksonville, St. A and Daytona, you can find some good live music.

You can choose only 2

Your joking right? St Augustine is sky high. If you don't mind Georgia you can get an affordable house near the coast just steps away from Florida.

If you're looking for a 1brm or studio then you should definitely move to a shithole city like NYC so you'll be around likeminded idiots.

I pay 3500 for a 2br in sofla. Could be worse, nice places are 5k+. Haha

dont come to miami if you want quiet and cheap

Here in Jax a decent home in a community will cost about 300k if you build it.

If you want a bit of land it will cost you around 385k for a 15 year old home and the home will need a new roof and AC likely in the next 5 years.

If you don't mind north central Florida, Ocala, Palatka, and up to the state line you can still find a decent home on an acre for under 300k but it very rural.

Stay away from Gainesville! Taxes are very high.
