T Minus 427 Days: Planning a trip to Florida

We have our plane tickets! We will be traveling to Florida in August to shop towns and developments. We will be in Florida for six days. There are several places at the top of our list, and we want to try to stay the night and spend time in as many of them as we can:
Clermot
Davenport
Apopka
Winter Garden
Lakeland



Our next step is to plan out the trip
Where to stay in the towns?
Car rental?
Realestate Agent?
Built houses or new construction?

Stay tuned for more updates!
