Looking to invest in SW Florida or Treasure Coast

[Emy Bernardo]

We are looking to invest in SW Florida (Port Charlotte, North Port, Englewood, surrounding areas) or possibly Treasure Coast (Vero Beach, Jupiter) for a buy and hold.   Any agent and property management referrals are appreciated.  I've been looking at new construction turn-key providers but selection is slim right now;  only options on well/septic or in partial flood zones which seem like added headaches to me.  Thinking we might want to try to go it on our own to find the right property.  We are most likely going to end up moving to Florida in 5 years or so looking for something with appreciation potential and/or something that we may want to live in. Condo is not out of the question if in a desirable location.
