Buy/Hold Lehigh Acres, Florida: the good, the bad, the ugly???

[April Eilers]

Hi Everyone, my husband and I are considering buying a duplex in south Lehigh Acres. How is buy and hold going in this area? For those locals, is northeast Fort Myers any better than Lehigh for quality of tenants or is it one in the same? I've heard bad things about the area and am getting cold feet, but would like to hear from some locals regarding whether these fears are warranted. On paper cap rate looks good and I've heard there's a hot rental market, but not sure about in practice and what quality of tenants we could expect.  Thanks for any advice you can share!! :)
