Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres Investment

[Gargi Bhatia]

I am an investor looking to buy my first investment property at the Cape Coral area. In my research of the area and looking at different properties in the area, there were a set of things I have come across and I was hoping to get everyone's feedback on it -

1. 1.I have an option to buy build to rent new construction SFH properties in the North and North West part of Cape Coral (Zip Code 33993). As I look at the area it seems it is a little away from grocery store and other amenities. Would that be a challenge in identifying a good tenant in that area?
2. 2.I have the option to purchase a duplex property in the south part of Cape Coral (zip code 33914) with assessment paid out. As a first time buyer, I am unsure of the resale value of the duplex compared to a single family. Would that be an issue (resale value of duplex compared to SFH)
