We invest in Idaho, probably the most landlord friendly market in the country, had good luck there. 

If you've got to ask a question on an online forum about managing an out of state or out of country renovation, you aren't ready to do this on your own.

Even trusting a brand new GC who's licensed/"qualified" is a risk from out of state, let alone out of country.

You're on the right path to success!

This is some of the highest valued residential land in the country. 

They seem to be quickly evolving across the country…but this should be secondary.

That being said, I've definitely signed leases for properties that were on the other side of the country and I didn't get a chance to physically see them before signing the lease.

The area has certain advantages like shelter from regulation risk (pretty much as low as anywhere in the country if you buy in the approved STR tourist zones) and long term security (people aren't going to stop going to Orlando anytime soon). 

If you layout a path it may not go the exact way the plan is laid out, but you have a target that you're aiming at getting to and a lot of the secondary decisions fall into place and are clear when you know where you are headed.Congrats on being in a great place with real estate and options!

@Edreco Amos I think that Tampa, FL is not the worst, but will be among the worst, hit markets in the country.
