Beware the IRS! If you establish residency in Florida prior to selling in Nevada you could end up paying a full capital gain tax on your Nevada residence. I believe IRS requires your home to be your primary residence at time of sale and for at least 2 of the last 5 years or your gain, if any, will be taxed.

So, if you are planning to establish residence in FL to gain the homestead exemption be very careful and get solid tax advice BEFORE you do it. My two cents.
