Just recently bought my vacation home. But I went backwards from Florida
to Pa. Home prices, taxes and insurance are through the roof in Fl as
was said here. PA is now a bargain at all levels.

I'm thinking of doing a hurricane tourism thing at my Fla home since it
got hit with 3 in the last 2 years with more on the way.. 'Ride The
Hurricane'.!! 1500 a week during Sept. and Oct..!

Renters can be a hugh PITA though..

I can tell you where I'm at in Fl, it is not uncommon to see people
getting locked up for road rage (the traffic and heat don't mix well).
Seemingly 'normal' people just lose it..!

And like the other poster said taxes are real bad unless you've been
there a number of years. Mine are sub 1100 a year..

Because of the income taxes in Pa (vs. none in Fla), I'll keep my FL
home (and residency) just for the tax bene's..And it does get kind cold
here in Pa..

Better to get a class C motor home and invest the rest in your PA
house..
