Florida is a large, diverse place.

This obviously implies more diverse work, more/better networking (public and private money lenders, contractors, other investors, etc.), more/better marketing and overall a more extensive real estate business.

One of the greatest parts of Real Estate is meeting new people and discovering how diverse and amazing people can actually be!

With that said I've been looking in mostly Class A and B neighborhoods with good access to base and Anchorage, and some job diversity outside of just military.

Again, returning to replacement, how do you replace, you will not be able to likely replace for another appreciation play, your next plays are cash flow, if you take your win, expand your portfolio perhaps with property "C,D,E" you have now also expanded your risk tolerance as you have become more diverse....

I look at employment rates, employment diversity, and simple supply and demand lines to make sure there's enough demand in the market.

I've lived in Southern California and Brooklyn and never saw such diversity as I do where I am in China Town now (Bellaire and Beltway 8).

Nice diverse economy. 

We’re hoping to move into a second market for some geographic diversity (and ideally a place to stay warm in the winter).  

Could be someone who made a lot of money in industry looking to diversity their investment portfolio, you typical wealthy foreign buyer who want to own dirt in a prime location, successful RE investors coming out of a 1031.
