Tice / Suncoast Estates (deep pockets)

The lowest entry prices and highest paper yields in the metro, in older unincorporated pockets with scattered reinvestment.

Higher crime, deep deferred maintenance, flood exposure, and insurance costs; the headline yields rarely survive the real vacancy, repair, and insurance picture for a remote owner. As of January 2026, Citizens now requires flood insurance for wind coverage on homes insured at $400K+, with combined premiums often $4,500-8,000+ a year in Lee County - underwrite the full insurance cost.

Investors who understand that the highest advertised yields often come with the highest execution risk.
