I own a rental down in Florida and have done some rehab work on properties but not a true new build.Any advice or information that would be good to learn from (experience, books, etc).

I have been pre-approved for an FHA loan of 3.5% up to $515,250 for a duplex (looking for at least a 4bd/2ba), and based on HOA fees, I've been approved for about $450,000 for a condo (looking for at least a 1bd/1ba).My plan for the long-term is to own the property for at least 15-20 years.
