Househacking Fort Walton, Navarre, Destin Area

James Peterson
Posted

Hey everybody. I'm currently deployed but moving to the Hulburt Field area when I get back. I'm looking to purchase a house-hack within 45 minutes of Hulburt Field. I have 4 successful house-hacks in Columbus Ga so I'm decently familiar with the nuances (2 SFR, one triplex, one duplex). Any tips on what to buy ?

A initial scrub on Zillow is telling me that small multi is rare and my best bet are single family houses with in-laws that are zoned for ADU's. Anybody currently house-hacking in that area ? Would love to connect.

Hey James! Im a local investor and agent here. Have helped a few folks find house hacks, but mainly looking at homes with ADUs/MIL suites as like you mentioned, the multifamily scene is pretty slim here, and they tend to be in areas that I wouldn't necessarily advise living in. There are exceptions of course, but SFH with an area to rent out might be your best bet.

Would love to connect and help you on your search man, this is my bread n butter!
