[quote=Anonymous]I'd looked into this at a couple points in time. The one thing that everyone told me universally was that termites are an issue in the Keys, so make sure you check that out with the appropriate inspection. The Keys are divided into 3 areas as far as Realtors go, Upper, Middle and Lower. If you find an agent you like to help you, they may not be licensed or want to go to other areas in the Keys.

Flood insurance will be a huge cost, and required by lenders so you can't really avoid it. I know you said house, but condos have high fees to cover that insurance. Most condos I found didn't allow pets, so that was tough for rental purposes plus our own pets.

Key West is tough to get to unless you fly. The drive through the Keys is beautiful - one of the most beautiful in this country, but after you leave Marathon it's a lot of nothing until Key West. If you always planned to fly then you would be okay, but flights to Miami and the Keys are costly. I've always found it cheapest to fly to Ft. Lauderdale and drive the rest of the way.

Good luck! I'll live vicariously through you! I'm jealous.
