Things are expensive in Florida but you can still find "deals" or properties that will perform where you can get 10-25%+ CoC returns.

Not sure if you need to think about budget or not, but downtown will be very very expensive.I don't think there are enough lots that trade that there would be any time of accurate or even ballpark pricing.I don't know anything about it, but there does seem to be some good demand in self storage parking and also in truck parking. 

Hello Francis,Skip tracing services charge fees because they aggregate data from multiple sources, often including private databases, public records, and proprietary data, to provide accurate and up-to-date contact information, including phone numbers associated with a property.
