Real Estate Investing in Southwest Florida

[Duane Tomlinson]

Hi All,

I am looking to get started with real estate investing down here in Southwest Florida - Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Naples area. The prices of houses and condos are quite high in relation to the monthly rental ask. 

Is there a different or better rule of thumb to use down here? 

My friend and I are starting a partnership to split the risk. Open to connections down here as well - contacts, meetups, and advice. We know there is a lot to learn from this community and eventually look forward to contributing!
