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!
