Cape Coral has changed so much in the last cycle. There are a lot of opportunities but also some pitfalls. 

If you are buying land, watch the environmental. Also, take note of the UEP zone.

Quote from @Yana Rishkovoy:

Hi all,

Our new build will be finished in Cape Coral in a few months and I'm shopping for insurance quotes. Can you help and clarify what type of insurance I should have? Is it both liability and property coverage? Is it the same as umbrella insurance? thank you!


 You should have a layer of insurance. HOI and a general liability policy. Also, require the tenants to have renters insurance.

Quote from @Justice Jacobs:

I'd love to chat with you on the Valdosta area. I have some friends and family who've spent time down there. Allegedly, it's the "gateway" to Florida. What is the population growth and future prospects looking like? @Jeff Tumbarello


 I am focused on cash flow. I don't care about appreciation. That MSA has a lot going for it, with a bunch of the small towns around it, doing great as well.
