Buy and hold: What would you choose, Florida or Wisconsin?

[Account Closed]

Hello Bigger Pockets,

I have been following this blog and podcasts for sometime now and it is a wonderful community!

I recently moved to Sarasota, Florida with my husband from Lucerne, Switzerland. We wanted to move back to the US to pursue real estate investing.

We moved here after graduating college because my grandparents and my parent live in the area.

However, after a few months we still feel this may not be home for us, we miss being around young people and enjoying all the seasons. We just are not beach town people.

We have saved 10,000 for a down payment and plan to get a homepath duplex and rent out one side. We are ready to buy, we have great credit and stable incomes.

The challenge is, our lease is up in a few months and we are considering going back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (where I am from originally).

My question is: Where would you rather invest, Florida or Wisconsin?

Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Sarah
