My home's valuation has increased 70% in the last 3 years, and has shown no signs of letting up. I highly doubt my selling it and buying a similar home in another state will be a wash.Runaway inflation has driven home prices up everywhere, whatever you get for your house will be a wash when you buy a new one. The days of selling a highly appreciated house, banking a bunch of money and buying another house are long gone.
The Balkanization of the US is well under way, at least you have a fighting chance in FL.
Welcome to The Forum.First, a thank you to the administrators for hosting and maintaining this resource. Nothing like a good Forum such as Lightfighter.
After living in Florida non-stop for 31 years, we may be moving to Washington (Clark County) and need to get up to speed on what's going on there. Wife is originally from Alaska, has family in Oregon, and I spent my childhood in California, so we've been itching to return West.
I currently own and operate my own firearms training business with 5 contract instructors in Fort Lauderdale. We teach civilian-centric live fire, Force on Force, and Care Under Fire. If this move happens, I'll be selling this business to my instructors and fade into being just a face in the crowd who loves to shoot and train for himself again. Although I average 40 to 60 hours annually of outside training for continuing education purposes, teaching is not the same as taking training and I miss just taking care of myself.
I'm also an amateur radio operator working all the technology, so that will keep me busy as well.
Of course, this is all in addition to my day job! Glad to be here.
P.S. I love all firearms but am particular to the 1911. Here's some pics of mine.

Sell out and live like a king in South America ?Runaway inflation has driven home prices up everywhere, whatever you get for your house will be a wash when you buy a new one. The days of selling a highly appreciated house, banking a bunch of money and buying another house are long gone.

Admit it, your crystal ball is really just a well rubbed turd.OP here: After watching your elections from Florida, all I can say is I'm glad my wife and I decided to stay in Florida. Stay strong my Oregon friends.
