We came to Jacksonville from Italy to help friends finish their sailboat so we could all cruise the Caribbean. None of us are retired, so we need to work while cruising. My wife and I are already "digital nomads" and have been traveling for the past 2.5 years, but our friends still work 40 hour a week jobs with a house in the suburbs of Jacksonville. COVID has shaken things up enough with traditional sailboat cruising that it doesn't look like they'll go before 2022 if at all. We are moving to help another friend with his pool cleaning business (which is booming even amid the pandemic) and to look for a sailboat of our own along the Texas coast.
We've lived in this house for 31 years and it's time to take the equity $ and downsize to an apartment or condo rental.

Housing prices are out of control
I was recently laid off due to COVID-19. Although I love the area, it's expensive living in Orange County and job prospects are limited. My sister lives on the coast near Jacksonville, FL and has been pushing me to move out that way for a few years. I'm not excited about the humidity or "redness" of that state but if I can find a job out there it would be worth to be near her and other family I have on the east coast.
No reason to stay here while working remotely. In Florida getting more space, for way less money, warmer weather, cheaper living, and no state income tax.
