I live in CA and plan to invest into a RE rental property in Florida incorporating business entities for an assets protection. 

Hi Michael-Great question and an important skill for investors to understand.I recommend the ABC's of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy and Ken's YouTube Channel.If you are an investor, I recommend finding and using a good property manager for your properties as soon as possible to maximize your return on investment and make owning as passive as possible.A good property manager is a key part of your real estate investing team.Get them involved early in the underwriting process of a potential acquisitions and the planning for adding value.To Your Success!

Sure, it's a bigger upfront investment, but it could pay off nicely, especially if you're planning to move there eventually.

Are you planning to sell your primary in the near future?

That is a retrievable amout to me but I do not plan on quitting my job. 

If they don't sign the renewal they have other plans most of the time. 

I now have 9 doors (including where I live) and plan on buying more. 

All things to consider. 5) how do you plan on managing the property?

To sweeten the deal, add non-monetary incentives like free carpet cleaning, a waived pet deposit for an extra pet (if comfortable), or a dedicated parking space.

I live in Littleton and I'm planning on buying in the west Denver metro and I'm familiar with the area, but additional data points are always helpful.
