Kim Peran in Daytona, FL; Brooklyn Eagle Spotlight on Space
Transplanted Brooklynite now happy in Florida, wants to share the sunshine. Brooklyn Eagle Spotlight on Space focuses on a new trend: taking work remotely far south, or even retiring, to the warm sunshine and tax breaks of Florida.
In this interview, Brooklyn native Kim Peran puts on her real estate salesperson’s hat, and beckons.
SPACE SPOTLIGHT: Why did you relocate to Florida?
KIM: I have been visiting Florida since I was 7 years old and always enjoyed the weather and palm trees. Most of my Brooklyn family had moved there as well. I chose Northern Florida because we do get a change of seasons. It is beautiful all winter long with temps between 70-75 in the day and 50-60 in the evening. I am able to be outdoors year round to enjoy the parks, beaches and trails. It is also much cheaper to live here. Our property taxes are lower, sales tax
is lower and there is no income tax.
