Need Realtor for Investments in FL (Davenport & Space Coast)
My wife and I are looking to purchase an investment property around Davenport, FL or the Space Coast and are looking for a Realtor that is willing to run searches for investment homes as well as provide comps for the local rental market. Please feel free to PM me if you are interested in helping or have any recommendations for Realtors to help us.

@David Gwilt Got it, thanks. For starters, just a few things to think about. Insurance is much more expensive and harder to get per $. Property tax % are higher than CA and adjust every year to market value compared to limited adjustments in CA.
Concrete block homes are preferable in FL compared to stick built or "frame" houses typically. Insurance is cheaper for the block homes.
For single family, the tenants do their own yard, but if you get a 2-4 unit property, lawncare is pricy compared to CA. Roughly $150/mo depending on what it is and where.
Some ruralish properties are on septic systems.
Anyhow, just a few things to keep in mind.
