New Investor- Florida Market

[Justin Rush]

BP Family,
I’ve always loved only handful of things, two of them are Florida and Real estate, so I want to combine them both. This is a dream of mine and what I want to pass to my children. 

I’ve also done my due diligence, read hundreds of blogs/forums, and the obvious areas investors are piling into are- Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, and Cape Coral. 

I live in Washington, so I am seeking assistance. For insight, I have multiple avenues for funding, and aim to BRRR and hold the properties long term; however, also willing to leverage market specific strategies (AirBNB, etc). With this my questions are:

• What market would be a better one (highly subjective so cannot say the best) for a new long distance investor? 
  Are there specific nuances I should be honing in on (I.e., FL specific laws, etc.)
• Are there any recommended attorneys, real estate agents, contractors, property managers anyone wouldn’t mind pointing me towards?
