Real Estate Investing: CT vs. FL (Pros and Cons)

While I am only in the preliminary stages of my RE Investing career, I want to begin my focus on which market to start heavily researching.

I currently live in Connecticut, but would consider investing in Florida since I am down there so often and love it. There are a lot of tax advantages to investing in Florida, but I would like to hear from first-hand investors who have dabbled in both states.

What are your opinions and/or advice?

Thanks!
