Just moved back to the area. Looking to purchase a new home.
Just moved back to the Destin/ Fort Walton Beach area. I have one property that I rent out in Jacksonville, Florida. I am looking within the next 18 months to purchase another rental property.

Welcome back! Destin/Fort Walton is still a great area for real estate. Sure, it's slowed down/ normalized from the crazy Covid-time market, but that's actually better if you're a buyer. There is some oversaturation in the vacation rental market still, but there's still good potential for profit, strong demand and lots of tax benefits. My vacation rental investments still do very well. Long-term rentals do well too, especially in the areas like FWB or Navarre close to military bases.
And if you're looking for a primary home, it's actually a very good time to get a pretty good deal from sellers, especially if you're ok with doing some post-purchase remodel or updates :-). Let me know if I can help in any way.
