You'll find that anyone on the net trying to get you to move to an area is going to overcharge. Take a flight to the areas you want to consider, bring some cash, get a hotel room, get the local paper, contact a local realtor (or whatever the local procedures are). There is nothing like renting something sight unseen and finding out it is in a bad part of town or isn't near the hot-spots or too far from anything or too close to anything.

Finding a new location to live without having visited and seeing what the local customs are and whether you even like the area would be difficult. If you're going to live there year round, go during tourist season and go during their 'bad weather' season. If you don't like rain, some tropical areas have quite a bit of rain. If you're looking for sunny outdoors tropics, then there are other areas to consider.

Tough decision to make until you've been put in it. When we made the decision to move to Florida, I looked at the averages, 69" of rain a year. We came and spent a month in the area, talked to people, found a place. Then we moved here in the middle of rainy season and for the next 30 days, our little city set a record for rainfall. Almost 60" of rain -- talk about thinking we made the wrong choice. Then we had a two year drought which is more what I thought Florida was going to be like. Since then, things have normalized and while I don't like rain, it is less of an annoyance than what I had to put up with living outside Washington DC.

Tough decision to make. Good luck with it.

Agree 100% I wish we had a law here that required people who wanted to purchase a home to have to live in it for like 2 weeks. Lord knows I would have never bought this condo. Fucking white trash and shit heads that came out of the wood work about 3 days after I was here. Shit my first night here I had to deal with a neighbors dog barking constantly like a broken record till 3am (guess thats when shithead came home), kids doing there Vin impressions all night with their noisy fucking 4 cyl jap cars, kids (not teenagers kids like 8 yeas old)running around screaming a yelling till 2am. This place is just a nightmare to live in. Hindsite is 20/20, I should have stayed with my parents lol.
