Any Investors In The New Smyrna Beach, General Florida Area?

[Charles Manuel]

Hey All, 

So my wife and I are looking to relocate to Florida, and we're hoping to buy a Multi family and house hack our way down here. We're driving out to the New Smyrna Beach area today to take a look around,but we're open to pretty much anywhere in the state. 

Searching MLS there are definitely things in our price range (250k and under) and with the features we like. (3 BR at least for owner unit is really the only criteria as we work from home and have a little girl, and decent school system)

Any tips, pointers, thoughts on buying in the area? We're Yankees so we really don't know the little things to look at like you all would. Really appreciate any help or tips!
