i am going to buy a home in Florida and its have flat roof, some one told me that flats roofs are not as good as others

Well, at least in Florida, you won't be expecting snow! So a flat (or at least one with a slight fall to run off rainwater), roof should cause no particular problem. Keep the gutters free from leaves and dirt and you should experience no problems at all. These roofs use minimum materials (usually galvanised iron or colorbond decking type steel and prove to be totally adequate in the right climatic zone.
The only disadvantage that I can see with a flat roof is hat there is no storage space above your ceilings.
