Our decision was based on two of those three - we didn't know about the homestead exemption until we got here.
We'll be expanding out to Ocala, Gainesville, and Orlando in our quest for health care comparable to what we had in Md.
An additional consideration for the OP is whether they will keep their home in Va. There could be a Va equivalent to the homestead exemption that is more beneficial than the Fl version. (of course, this isn't an issue if you will only own one home}
