I’m hoping that I can find a company that will help me find, buy and let a place (one company does all) in maybe Florida (open to suggestions).
I’ve never done this before so any advice or contacts would be much appreciated! PLEASE!

There are some excellent investment opportunities in the US. My advice is to use local advice.
Florida is not all it is cracked up to be. I am married to an American and lived in Florida for a couple of years. Horses for courses I know - but I could not wait to get back to Blighty.
The Pacific NW is lovely. Four season, a lot of rainfall/snow. Given the choice I would go for Vancouver but Washington state, Oregon and N California are far too frequenty overlooked.
The Carolinas, Georgia, Florida Panhandle and Tennessee are worthy of consideration.
As a beginner I would advise you to stick a little closer to home. You need to get to your nest egg in a hurry and cheaply.
Just where? Well that's a whole series of other posts.
