Take your time and wait for changes to water supply, adding pest treatments, painting driveways or even if you will add downspouts to the back of your home. Wait to see who your neighbors use for lawn maintainance.
Please jump in here and add your comments here everyone.

I did not want my Missouri house in Florida so I agree on the furniture comments - take only the precious pieces and leave the rest behind or sell it all.
The other thing to remember is to bring as much personal documentation as possible - I was married twice and needed to have
every marriage certificate including divorce decree for Florida licenses thanks to the Patriot Act - beware and be prepared.
