Paula said:... In our nice old midwest neighborhood, we lose retirees to Florida every year as a second home or to complete move there. I don't hear of many people going to the Panhandle and 30A area, though, because they don't know about it. If they did, I think they'd seriously consider moving there as well or at least getting second homes there.

Get the time machine from Napoleon Dynamite and buy your land in 1955.Hans said:Sooooo......that's the good advice I've got here.
1. Locate 30 ft. above the sea, but not on the waterfront, within a short walk there.
2. Preferrably build yourself, on a lot with no build-out terms. Failing this, buy a place of recent construction which does not include stick and stucco construction and is certified to comply with regulations.
3 And all this only if I were to locate here.... :clap_1: :clap_1: or be investing for the long term.
I thank all for their sage advice, especially "Kurt" for his concise and "ecopal" for his expansive advice. How nice,... to be able to draw on the experience and help of this community.
