Obviously it's good from a nature preservation point of view but it's a very different from an investment point of view. 

That was just one of my properties and I now have multiple in different vacation locations.  

Some "captive" agents like Farmers, Nationwide, maybe others also have some market access other than their namesake, but unless things are different there State Farm has State Farm only so when they're done, they're done. 

A close friend of mine in Houston once had a client who owned two properties across different states.With your North Port place being so fresh (2021 build) and on a canal, you’ve got strong appeal for folks looking to enjoy that waterfront Florida vibe.

My piece of advice would be to make sure you have a great agent in your corner to help you assess the market, make informed decisions, etc. having a good agent can be day & nights difference when it comes to your experience.

If your property’s rehab isnt wrapped up until 2025, your current rent roll might look a bit different than what your lender expects when they run the numbers.

It would be best to befriend a local contractor or even help one out on a job to see any differences from your past eight years doing it in another country.

I have never been there personally but I have heard it's good food.

You could look into forming a C Corp as an alternative way to own this property that could affect your tax returns differently, I am not a CPA or giving tax advise.

What people will accept and even desire in FL can and will be wildly different from those in other areas of the nation.
