I grew up in North Florida so I have a lot of family, friends and business contacts in that area.  

Taking advantage of this investor friendly window would be worth it!

Like a rich uncle or friend of the family doctor/lawyer?

One of my commercial RE agent friends  here moved out there. 

there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates  8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip  

I am remembering a lawyer friend advising her parents on land issues.

From the architectural wonders of Downtown to the tranquil, family-friendly communities on the outskirts, there’s always something new to explore and learn.The city’s constant evolution means different investment opportunities are always surfacing, whether it's the push for sustainable living or a growing emphasis on smart home technology.

rent out all the bedrooms to your friends. 

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.
