Prior to falling head over heels for a purchase, ditch the realtor, and physically drive the route from potential home to base both ways between 7am-9am and 4:30pm to 6:30pm. During school season, on Friday or Monday, preferably in the rain. If you choose FLL/MIA all roads to hell or heaven include 95 or the turnpike. In MCO try I-4. For bonus points, take your BP before and after.

Don't forget a fistful of pennies to chuck back at the car on your @ss behind you and your Glock.
