There are a lot of people moving out of Florida. The property taxes, property insurance, car insurance, overcrowding is just getting out of hand.

Florida native here. Born and raised in Pinellas County. I have two years until retirement and then I'm gone. This was great place to grow up in the 60's and 70's, but now it's just too crowded.

We have been in Florida since 2012. No doubt it is becoming way too congested in the winter months. Now selling because we also want to see more than just the east coast.

We’ve owned a lot at The Great Outdoors (TGO) in Titusville, FL for about 8 years. TGO is near Cape Kennedy. We watch launches 2 to 3 times per week. TGO allows all types of Class A, B, C, trailers and Super C’s. You can buy a lot, house or what ever you want. Our area of Florida is not crowded. It's very easy to get to stores or restaurants. If you want to cruise, Port Canaveral is close bye. TGO is surrounded by the St. John’s River Persevere and there will never by any building next to our Resort. We have a top notched Nature Center, Golf course and lots of other amenities.

I bought in 2019 in Michigan where my son lives. I got a lot for $15000, HOA is $40 a month and Taxes are about $500 a year. My son retired Summer 2023 so when I went south he set up his RV on the property. What a deal. He is setting up a business just a mile away. Yours was good too as you owned it without losing money. Florida is getting more and more expensive, it is beyond my fixed income now, even when I use my Thousand Trails because some of those in Florida have limited stays in "high season". As well I like to settle for 4 months in the south and use my lot in Michigan for five months. I use my Thousand trails for stays in the spring and fall, for a total of 12 weeks of "free" camping.

I bought 5 acres with a lake view . It already has power and water with two spots that have 50 amp electrical for each. No sewer but with very large holding tank that is pumped out once a year. We use it a couple of days a week. We think it was a good idea and it seems to be appreciating in value. Good luck with your next purchase.

My wife and I went full time in November '23 and wanted a "home base" to return to in the summer, so sort of reverse of what you bought your lot for. We close on our house in a few days and will be living in our Class A full time at that time. We purchased a 2 acre lot about half a mile from our current lake house so we are still close to all of our lake neighbors that we have become close to over the past 13 years. The lot had a double wide home on it at one time, so W/S/E was already there for us to connect to. Our plan is to winter south (we spent the winter of 23/24 in Florida) and summer back here in Indiana at least part time. No HOA fees for us, taxes are next to nothing, and we paid cash for the lot so no payment/interest. We plan on full timing it for at least the next five years, then building a house on the lot. Undecided at this time if we will give up the motorhome, or continue to winter down south. I can understand why you sold as the investment didn't check off all of the boxes you needed. Happy to hear you came out in the black on it.

YES, Things change. Your way of thinking change. I am retired and a lot of things change your way of thinking. Yesterday that sounded really good, but NOT today. Keep your options open, always open.

We originally wanted to buy just what you had and the more and more we look into Florida it looks like an overcrowded mess. We’re now considering Buena Vista in Orange Beach. It’s cooler in the winter for sure but it’s so much less crowded.

I say that was successful!!! No risk, usually no rewards! Yes and real estate is a good investment over time!

That's life-people and likes do change. We've all purchased things and later circumstances change and it's best to move on. Congratulations s on making a timely decision. Lord knows procrastination can be costly, as from personal experience. Be well and RV on!!!

Yes I live in Lake Worth Beach Fl. Traffic has gotten horrible. That's why I will be getting a class C and hitting the road until I can find where I will land.

I was born and raised in Tampa and now live in North Carolina, every time I go back the traffic gets worse and worse. And then on top of the Tampa RV show! Whew 😂

It's your money, your life. It goes fast, enjoy yourself. My thoughts have changed over the years. I have evolved as time went by. 2 years out from retirement. I'm getting my ducks in a row. I enjoy every day. Happy trails.

Congrats on your sale, one of my favorite quotes has always been by Mark Twain “buy land they aren’t making anymore”

Lots of properties listed in Florida these days and prices are falling. Complaints of high HOA, weather issues, high insurance.. Lots of news about it lately. Good for you guys getting out of there.

So glad this worked out. It was a beautiful place. It astonishes me that people who would want you to fail would even bother following you. I loved what you said about happy people want to make others happy- perfect comment!

Congratulations it worked awesome!!!

Thank you so much. You’ve opened our eyes and saved us much more than money.
