Owning Real Estate in Florida is not a bad idea as long as you know where the market is (in relationship to ‘Fair Value’) and you sell before the oceans rise.
As of Spring of 2019 I believe that we are ~20% over ‘Fair Value’ right now. My belief is based on inflation and population extrapolations. Population growth between 2000-2019 was ~23% and inflation of about ~49%. If you don’t believe that the dollar has lost almost half it’s buying power in the past 20 years, see for yourself https://smartasset.com/investing/inflation-calculator#LFWyzg1QVC
again make sure to sell before you’re (literally) under water…
