Buying and selling wood homes in FL

I am a flipper from CT moving to Fort Lauderdale in a week looking to buy property to flip. My concern is: will it be more difficult to find a buyer if the home is not built with block? Many of the distressed homes I find are wooden and have prior termite damage, which I am fine with fixing, but I am wondering if the stigma of termites affecting wooden homes will hurt the number of potential Buyers I may have. Could anyone with knowledge of the Florida market provide any insight on this? My selling point is going to be around 250k, so i will be selling mostly to first time home buyers and lower income buyers. Thank you!
