checklist
- Get preapproved. A Florida-licensed lender letter sets your range and strengthens an offer made from out of state. Ask for a lender introduction.
- Shortlist by commute. Pick two or three areas from the tables above, then plan one scouting trip around rush hour.
- Check flood zone and insurance. Quote the exact address early.
- Confirm school zones. Search the address on our school zone map, then verify with the district.
- Estimate property taxes. A purchase can reset the assessed value. Run the property tax calculator before you offer.
- PCS orders? Weigh buying against renting for the length of your tour.
