Man winters up here in NH are getting longer and colder .. Been thinking about fla for a few years now ..
Id like to buy on the water , ocean access etc .. Or maybe just nearby and leave the boat in a marina.. We like bar hopping and hangin out off the beach ..Any suggestions on locations to look etc ..

The Tampa Bay area if your green is long enough! Unfortunately, mine's not. I'm trying to buy a place on the water in Deland.

Long enough ?? I lost ya there cuda

Green is long enough= have enough money.
I like to say... any problem can be solved if you rub enough green salve onto it.

Ok ya no my green is short ..

If you have short green, then you definitely need to look north, as in Tampa/ St Pete or further. East coast wise, you will need to stay north of Stuart.
I have been a realtor for 20 years in Fort Lauderdale, and a lot of people are moving out of here to those two areas.
Prices are less than half what they are in south florida for comparable properties.

Anyplace good online to view listings.. Seems like most realtors want to put you on a list..

I just moved down here from Cincy and all I can say is DO IT NOW! It has been great and I am loving every minuit. I would have to know what you are looking to spend as far as what area.

Short green and south florida on the water dont mix well. I love Ft Lauderdale. Lots of condos available onthe water. Some new, some fixer upers. depends on what your lookin for and size. I keep my boat at a dry dock when im not there, no lifts allowed in my marina . You can get a great deal on a condo a few blocks from the water.

Really? what do you mean by a great deal?
I am not trying to be a smartass, I really want to know what your idea of a deal is. This way we can talk prices.
