I started a new post asking people's thoughts about insurance costs in your local area and specifically costs to rebuild and other challenges:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/95/topics/1227051-insur...

In many cases bigger banks or lenders have specific programs that cater to first time home buyers and investors. 

The bank institution we partnered with offers a bi-annual administration fee of $450.00 USD + VAT (16%).I’m a Mexican Realtor working alongside a Master Broker with a presence mainly in the Southeast of Mexico and the USA, specifically in NY, Miami, and Orlando.

Regarding the condo/townhome situation in Fort Myers vs Bonita Springs, I would say the more important things to focus on would be the association fees charged, what is included in those, and the rental restrictions of the association.

It is specific to the area.

Let me know when you find the area you want to look in specifically and I can get you connected to a PM.

Step back, take in the situation around you, what peg's do you have, what hole sis there, what is there that CAN be connected. 

If there's any specific concerns I could address I would be happy to. 

If you've been in similar situation, have you found it brings an issue down the road with future tenants or current?

When I was in your exact situation looking for help, they were the only ones that provided solid answers and walked my wife and I through the full transaction.
