Hello David,
yes you most certainly can make your Florida home your Primary, you would probably need to show employment in Florida some how either a transfer from your existing company or a new job lined up or a fixed income like SS. This of course is for a home that you would Finance a part of (ie a mortgage )
If paying Cash then this would not be needed.
In order for the Florida home to be your homestead it must tbe primary and you would need to live in it a minimum of six months out of the year this will reduce your property taxes substantially and cap the increase at no more than 3% anually.

Do you have employment lined up in Florida? Retired? Occupancy will be the concern if you don't have employment lined up in Florida or fixed income.
