Investor Thinking of Moving to Florida! But Where?

[Roderick Carabott]

HI All: I am currently actively investing in real estate - mostly Buy and Hold multifamily units. But I have also done new construction and flipping, both commercial and residential.

My wife and I ( + 1 yr old kid) are thinking of moving south to get away from the Chicago weather. We are looking for a great place where we can raise our daughter and have better quality of life -  my wife's requests :) . 

My request ( in addition to my wife's) - I want to be close to where the real estate investing action is. Some friends mentioned Ponte Vedra and St. John. 

I know this is a very general request, but I want to get some feedback on what you think. We are planning to come down to Florida to check things out before we do a final decision. Any pointers would be very helpful!

te Vedra or St John good investment turf, but nice places! Quality of life goal would certainly be met, but it's an expensive quality of life. We live just north of there in "the beaches" area and love it. In my opinion not a lot of bargains to be found in the immediate area though. Depends on what you're looking for.... definitely suggest a scouting trip, and if we can help, feel free to reach out. My wife is also a local RE agent.
