@Yan Wang hello and welcome to biggerpockets .. 

you are correct .. this site is great and is my all time favorite site .. 

There is so much information..

This site has changed my life and hope it does the same for you .. 

North Central Florida is a great place to invest .. heck just about anywhere in Fl is .. depending on  what your investment strategy will determine where the best area here in Fl you should invest .. 

There's Gainesville which is a great area because of the collage but its not without challanges .. if your in the price range then Mobile home parks can be a great investment .. they are plentiful here and more going up every year .. 

i know where theres a off market .. 52 lot Mhp for sale that just needs the pads and its ready for homes .. now in my mind its a bit over priced at $599k but everything can be negotiated i imagine .. plus .. i did a bit of digging and found out they only paid $150k for it in 2014 so they may take a serious offer .. Its around Ocala area .. or just below it ..    

By the way, Im not a wholesaler and I have no ties or contract with that or any property I might mention .. its just a example of whats out here .. 

I dont want to break any BP rules .. 

Jacksonville is a hot bed right now .. and even though it can have very bad areas ..properties are getting harder to come by, they are expanding the port there and bringging in a huge amount of jobs for the next 5-10 years , maybe more .. 

The panhandle is always a good place to invest .. Pensacola area .. especially around any military base  ..

I like smaller cities just outside the big ones .. seems deals are still to be had in the smaller ones .. like the small town Im in .. Our average price on homes is around $185k and you can still find one or two ever so often for $35-75k 

I hope that insight helped a little .. I wish you the very  best .. 

God Speed,
