1. Choosing the normal area.

In some cases this may already be done for you. If you are relocating for your job to a exact area of Florida or if you are interesting to be within a safe bet distance of house members, you already know the normal area you want to move to.

If this isn't the case for you, you will need to resolve where you want to be and this may involve doing explore on separate parts of the state. You will need to look into the factors that are important to you such as climate; schools; cost of living; distance to airports, beaches, major cities, etc.; and job store just to name a few. But you will need to know what is most important to you and I'd advise writing down a clear and spoton report of the ideal location for you before Beginning your research.

Go through the following list to help narrow this down:

Climate - the additional south the hotter Near the water or inland; how close to the beaches Large metropolitan area, more rural, or smaller town near a large city Distance to nearest major airport Job availability in your field or activities for retirees Pricing - higher end areas like Miami, Naples, West Palm, Sarasota; middle end areas like Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater, Orlando, Jacksonville

By choosing what you're looking for in relation to each of those points and then comparing that to what each area of the state has to offer, you should be able to eliminate some areas of the state and narrow your choices down to a few areas. I'd advise continuing to narrow down the areas until you have 1 or 2 left that fit all or most of your needs.

A lot of the facts you need in order to make your decision can now be obtained over the Internet. You can also get facts through friends or house that live here, by contacting the appropriate city or county departments or through local realtors. It also would be a good idea to visit the area or areas you think might be best for you to personally check them out for yourself. Any way you select to do it, make sure that you don't skimp on your research.

When you have the normal area in mind, it is time to start on the next step which is to begin the financial preparations for your purchase. I'll cover this step in detail in the next report in this series.
