Yes. I'm no expert, but I was told you can't be a resident of two states....it is wherever you live 6 months and one day a year or more.....but then that does not make sense if one travels all over....so I do not know.

I do know (I've been told) that Florida looks very harshly on those who try to claim the Florida Homestead exemption when you are not a legal Florida resident, and they should. The homestead exemption is for Florida legal residents.

If you are honest you will have no problems....it is only those who try to get away with something that will have problems.
