Advice on land purchase in Florida

[Dave Ba]

Hi all. I'm located in Canada and am interested in any advice for locating land for sale in Florida. I travel to Florida on a yearly basis and have been interested in a rental property purchase, however I have always been apprehensive as i have not educated myself enough about the market, process, etc. I have a family member living in Fort Lauderdale who owns a construction company. He suggested that I purchase the land, and then he can help to put up a building once i have the funds available. I'm looking for any advice on locating land, and any general advice. Thanks!
