Buying rentals in Florida

[Rob Donovan]

Pretty general question, but what location in Florida would be best for investing from out of state? My areas of interest would be Tampa, Ft Meyers, and Orlando. I would be looking to get into SFRs or small multi familys that would "require me" to stop down there once or twice a year to check on them. Ultimately, it would be nice to have some property we could use to vacation in over winter.  Any input would be appreciated.
