Permanent residence or vacation?
when buying a place say in the central Florida area, can you see and ROI on buying a place that is more geared towards a vacation place. A place that would have HOA fees plus figuring in for property management or do you need to stick to more of a family home?

Tons of great information from @Levi Bennett. One other approach that may make sense - have you considered a vacation rental where the property manager is willing to guarantee income over a longer-term basis? They are becoming more popular as PMs are trying hard to keep market share from losses to people managing properties themselves.
