You have some interesting markets in FL that are still a little under the radar like Crystal River, but if you want a metro, Tampa/St.Pete is solid and still has inventory.But, there are A LOT of wannabe flippers and wholesalers who suck in FL so it is hard to just hop in and get stuff done before you build relationships.

I am interested in buying an apartment building.

Is the land build able or are there title restrictions or land conditions saying it will be forever green space?

Might as well start building that rapport.
