[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends where in Florida you live. Homeowners’ insurance is very expensive due to roofing scams. The legislature was working on a reform to the system but I’m not sure if/when that’ll make a difference. Age of the roof is a big factor in determining insurance costs. You only need flood insurance if you’re in a flood zone on the FEMA maps, but you should probably buy it anyway. You also need to budget for year-round pest control. If you’re buying a SFH with a pool, you have to factor in maintenance and upkeep for that too, but it’s usually not super expensive.
