Starting locally with multifamily and house flipping is a solid plan.

It may be best to partner with someone that has done one before or somehow is a local expert on lot splits.If you can add a bathroom into existing space on high cost property it can add a lot of value.  

If you are going to have a company manage your property, I would recommend you find someone that is local. 

Check your local/state law.

Nonetheless, If you’re short on time, hiring a local attorney who focuses on evictions is definitely a good idea, as the process can be quite tedious.

While this is a cool area with natural springs that does draw in people, most people are local to FL and there is a lot of camping. 

network with local agents to see where they took theres. but not much to it but go with who you feel comfortable with.

It’s like giving the home a sense of place..a nod to local design traditions while still making it feel fresh.

Why not just hire a local real estate agent to handle leasing?
