It seems to be becoming the norm to move every 7 years or so. I've had
multiple realtors tell me that. For us, we tend to get itchy around the 5

big to stay in one place for long.


Florida tax laws punish you for that. My real estate tax hikes are
capped at 3% a year as long as I live here based on an old appraisal.
If I move I start being taxed at 80% of the price of the house I buy.
You also lose a year of homestead exemption. Fortunately I like it
here. I am not sure where I would want to move too. If I hit the lotto
I might buy a summer house up by Bowman tho. I would just be out of
there before the first snow. My kids are in Northern Michigan and that
area doesn't grab me at all unless I was right on a fairly good sized
but not "great" lake and a lot of acreage.
I think I would be just as happy north of Tampa doing that. My buddy
lives there. (Odessa)
That is Keystone Lake 424 acres. Big enough to boat on.
