Single Family in Ft. Lauderdale as investment?

[Andrew S.]

Hi everyone. Anyone have experience in Ft. Lauderdale for investing in single family home as a monthly/annual rental? What areas are best? Does anyone have recommendations on agents/management companies as we'll be long distance owners? Looked at Cape Coral and while that market seems good for investing, it's not where I'd choose to be if we convert this to a retirement home in the future. Also, I fly fish the Bahamas and if we snowbird there eventually getting to the Bahamas is quite easy and quick. Also, my wife has family there so for those reasons I'm shifting locations considering investing in Ft. Lauderdale. Would love to do a condo but afraid of rental rules and HOA fees. Many thanks in advance.
