If you can find a current broker to bring you along that's likely best, but just going to events like that will show you the players in your market. 

Then hire one that sounds competent and that you can get along with.

An NFL player at 250 lbs is going to be a different fitness level than couch potato that weighs 250 lbs.

Florida has a ton of STRs so you are competing with plenty of others.

My plan is to diversify my syndications by finding similar players in other good locations.
