Upcoming trip to Florida.. looking to plan a productive trip

I'm counting on the BP community to give me a push forward! I've been spinning my wheels for the past couple of months and perhaps I can be diagnosed with early stages of analysis paralysis. I am from Miami, FL and now living in Switzerland. My hardest challenge now is finding a market that is suits my investment goals. I'm looking for cash flow from day 1. So that pretty much takes Miami out of the question. I would like to focus on Florida since it is my home state afterall and a visit back home could always be put to serve multiple purposes. I have about 20k saved up and I'm hopeful I will get an unsecured LOC to be able to use as reserves and minor rehabs. I'm going back home next month and hope this trip gets me a foot in the door. I'm looking to: - consider different markets - tour potential houses - network with other investors (can be in REIAs or a over a lunch on me) - network with investor friendly agents - hopefully make some connections that will give me boots on the ground as this is particularly difficult from Switzerland. It's a lot to ask for, but at the same time I would have a car and I'm willing to drive around to check up on your properties / projects (could also take and send you pictures) or help out on just about anything I can. I'll be starting in Miami and the destination is Jacksonville. Anything close and in between is reasonably possible! The goal of this trip is to build up the confidence needed to invest from Switzerland! Any recommendations, towns to visit, things to look for (or avoid), or any input is really appreciated!

@Samuel Awosolu Thanks for the reply. You've given me a good idea to look up the REIAs on google and start from there. Hopefully I can reach out to individuals if not I'll be sure to meet them in the meetup.
