What do you and your family like to do for recreation in southern Oregon? What are you planning to replace that with in central Florida?
Are your assets part of a home owners association now? What is your tolerance for such governance?
We are still pretty young 39 and 38 with two boys 10 & 8. So our weeks are.busunwith work, sports and school activities.
In our free time/weekends, we like to camp and do water sports, lakes, go to the coast and biking. From what we looked at, the only thing you'd lose from Oregon to Florida is snow sports.
Our assets are not HOA now, I'm not even sure we have an HOA around here. Truthfully, I wouldn't care about an HOA, where we live now is an acre on a county road, we just got two street lights and sidewalks on our side. We are kinda of yearning for a neighborhood for the boys to play. Our current neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired for a young family. But on the other hand, if you like space and keeping to yourself, it's perfect. I would say our priorities in life have changed.
