Although there are three states that don't tax pensions or SSI (Pennsylvania Florida and Nevada) I will not hesitate to homestead in Florida even if I keep the property in Pennsylvania for the auto insurance savings alone.
Big brother is not watching to see if you live 6 months and 1 day in any given location.
Another bonus is if your state taxes pensions, it is a no brainer. The only thing that can get you in trouble is if you register to vote in both states and vote in both states. That is a no no.

I am a legal resident of Florida but still maintain a home in Pennsylvania. I called the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation last week about the car I left in Pennsylvania and was told that unless I have a valid Pennsylvania drivers license, I can not register a car in Pennsylvania. I drove my second car down here this weekend to register it in Florida since I only have a Florida driver license.
