Yes, a Florida home can be levied against for collection of a judgment after one is obtained unless it is your primary residence. Since you live in Indiana, your home in Florida is fair game for a creditor.

You may wish to change your primary residence in order to protect your investment. I would strongly suggest that you consult a Florida attorney to discuss your legal rights and obligations.
