Helloaskling for advice

hello,

I am trying to make a decision wether to buy first home in NJ vs Florida. My family would like to house hack in Florida, im hoping I can buy duplex/apt units and rent out the rest. I live in NJ , family wants to move to Florida but wants to invest in a home. Is it better to invest in Nj or Florida? I don't know the area in Florida I'm familiar with the New Jersey area. If I were to buy  real estate in Florida is it feasible for me to manage the property from jersey? or bad idea?
