McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

The biggest factors, from what I can tell, are age and rebuild cost. 

This can help you gain experience and start to network and develop a team of people who can help you invest in future deals.  

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

I'm also in FL and am a RE investor (STR/MTR/LTR), developer, and just love RE and the freedom it brings.

Deal analysis is a huge factor and takes practice.

Of course you have to factor in realtor and closing costs on top.

That is another factor that a bank will consider.
