Hi Guy,
I am a New Yorker Moving to Florida for the sam exact reason as you, to invest in real estate. New York is too expensive and cap rates do not make sense where I live. I am going to move to Jacksonville, Fl because the market has a fair amount of large multifamily assets, properties in the 100 to 500 unit range. I would say to research a city for what type of asset you are targeting and then look at demographics, i.e. job growth, population growth, size and number of households. Make sure there is at least 2% job growth for 2 consecutive years where you are investing. Jobs=tenants.
Good Luck
