🌞 Buying Property in Florida from Out of State? Here’s What You Need to Know
Whether you're looking for a vacation home, a rental property, or planning to relocate full-time, buying real estate in Florida is a smart move — and Tampa Bay is one of the hottest markets to do it.
But purchasing from out of state comes with its own set of questions:
✔️ Who can I trust on the ground?
✔️ How do I tour properties remotely?
✔️ What are the taxes and legal differences?
Here’s a complete guide for out-of-state buyers, and how Fernanda Stucken makes it easy and seamless.

Fast-growing job and tech economy
World-famous beaches and great weather year-round
