Where in Florida will you be going? That's where I live now. Well, I have a storage locker there, at least. What sort of work do you do? Much of the economy in Florida is tourism based. Not that there isn't other work, but in some fairly large cities, such as Tampa, there is relatively little work in IT, for instance, at least considering the size of the metropolitan area.

If you are going to need to work to live comfortably, the type of visa you get will, as pointed out above, be absolutely critical.
