Post Hurricane Challenges

[Brian Schamp]

Hey BP,

I’m looking at buying in St. Pete area  after the recent hurricane and was hoping to get some real, boots-on-the-ground insight. How’s the demand looking down there right now? What about insurance—has it been a nightmare to deal with? And are there any specific permitting issues popping up post-storm?

I’m not local, so I’m trying to get a feel for what it’s actually like making deals in this market right now. If you’ve been active in the area, I’d love to hear your take—what’s working, what’s not, and anything I should watch out for.

Appreciate any tips or advice you’ve got?
