Unfortunately, every state and every locality has different laws and what works in one location doesn't always work in others, so you have to be very careful about the 'free' advice that is given in online forums. 

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

Plus, compared to other parts of Florida, the Panhandle is still relatively affordable, making it a great option for first-time investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio.Another huge perk is Florida’s no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, which make it easier to manage and profit from rental properties.

A law suit from a tenant can put your other assets in risk if they are inside that LLC. 

Based on IRS Private Letter Rulings (PLR 200805012 and PLR 200901020), development rights can qualify as like-kind property for a 1031 exchange if they are considered interests in real estate under state law.

The tenant laws are also not on our side. 

Not trying to scare you, but a lot of lawsuits happen because the landlord doesn't follow fair housing laws, or simply neglects repairs etc.
