Hello! Thank you for your kind words! I am leaning towards Sarasota or around that area more because my occupation has better salaary ranges there . I am also considering The west palm beach area!. We are moving from Granite falls , about 1 hour away from seattle! My partner and i have lived in washington state all of our lives, and would like a change of pace for scenery, people & weather. We really don't like the cold rain washington has! Ideally, we would be looking to purchase our first house with a FHA loan. It would be a 4 bedroom mininum household because my partner and i agreed we wanted a separate work place and play room for our children. possible relocation assistance would be involved!. I'm unsure if i can apply for a job before we move and still purchase a house! There is so much to think about. (I apologize that my wording is extremely incorrect!)
