SW Florida Market

[Alex Balan]

Hello everyone. I am looking at gradually getting into the real estate business with the hopes of not having to work a "regular" job one day. I am thinking about flipping and/or buy and hold. I live in Naples Florida but the market here is too rich for my blood. So....I am looking a little further north possibly in Charlotte County. Does anyone here have any experience in this neck of the woods? Is there enough inventory for flipping? Are there enough tenants for buy and hold? What are the pros and cons of purchasing properties in cash as opposed to financing? Thank you all in advance! Alex Balan
