Hi Antonio,
Palm Beach and Miami are about 60 miles from one another so you would need to decide which area would suit you best. If you want a little crazines and nighlife and hundreds of restaurants to choose from then I would say go for Miami. But if you are looking for a more relaxed, quiet environment I would go up to Palm Beach.
If you are looking in Miami then I would most likely recommend Miami Beach. If you are going to be purchasing as an investment which I think you are, then you really can't go wrong with Miami Beach. You would be responsible for paying property taxes on your home. The best way to estimate this would be to go to
http://www.miamidade.gov. This site can give you a good approximation of what the taxes entail, costs etc.. You would have to pay homeowners insurance and deal with the day to day maintenance of the property. If you are going to be an absentee owner you might want to consider a condo or something of the such.
Best of luck to you in your search for property here in Florida!
