Has Investing in Texas as an out of state investor, been worth it?

I’m 21 serving overseas in japan and the BiggerPockets forum and everyone who makes up of it has been a huge help. I love it and love hearing the feedback and soaking in all the experience and knowledge from everyone. Any investors or realtors that would be willing to share their advice and information when it comes to investing out of state is greatly appreciated

What are some of the Top Principles an Out Of State Investor would say to develop?

I have realized how Important it is to do your due diligence and really learn the demographics of a market you are considering to buy in while out of state.

I believe Creating your boots on the ground Team is one of the best if not THE most important component.

If you could go back and do something different when buying your first out of state income property what would it be?

I have been analyzing various homes in the purchase price ranges of $160,000-250,000 in the Tampa market, St Petersburg, clearwater, Riverview, Lakeland, and Ruskin area. Ive been searching for a cash on cash of 8% or above & cashflow of $200 & above. 

After finding the average rent and expenses on a certain criteria for example (3bed/2bath SFH), (based off 20% down 80% financing)

I've been noticing that i could determine whether these homes would meet my cash on cash & cashflow targets by just basing if off the purchase price (after inputting the average rent & expenses). Ive concluded that only specific purchase prices work for homes in their specific neighborhoods.

Ive found more homes that meet these ROI targets in Jacksonville FL.

Could i get another investor's feedback on thoughts? 

I'm overseas searching for an investment property in Florida looking to put 20% down. 

Searching for an Florida investors / realtors to network and connect with

Im searching for investors and realtors who are familiar with the Tampa Florida area and surrounding areas. Im interested in finding out which zipcodes and neighborhoods are the most popular to invest in single family homes. 

Im looking for realtors who can tell me more about the Tampa area and that I could work with and send my property criteria, and cashflow goals over to find homes. 

Anyone got some tips or recommendations on strong cashflow neighborhoods? 

Looking to connect with as many people as possible!

I am looking to expand my knowledge about the markets in San Antonio and Houston Texas, to purchase an investment property.
