Here are some reasons to get the ball rolling:Thriving Market: Florida's population continues to boom, fueled by warm weather, a strong job market, and a business-friendly climate.

Building small units in small counts is expensive development.

As a foreign buyer, you are to look for 2 things in particular: the temporary foreign ban (which they keep pushing further back) and the source - The foreign purchase ban which applies across the board. yes there are exceptions but if you are not a Canadian tax Resident (which it seems you are), you will need to look for communities where the population is less than 100,000 in general. - Another exception to note on that foreign buyer ban is the number of units/doors for your investment: I believe the magic number is 5+ as this would be considered as commercial Real Estate- In Ontario, you will also have to look our for the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) which imposes about 25% on the purchase tax.
