Problem with FL is employment.

You have limited options.

Something in the tourist trade and that can be anything form working in a Marina to working at Disney land.

Retired

In buisness for yourself.

There is not much else. Not any huge cops based there. FL is a Tourist state and that is their whole economy.

Fun to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Personnaly I would look Daytona or Tampa. Mid state but not Orlando so not as much tourist junk.
Miami is pretty weird and housing is a bit more there. It also tends to catch the worst huricaines.
