Hi everyone!
My wife and I have built up some significant savings and are highly interested and excited to purchase our first STR in the near future.
We enjoy the pan-handle of Florida as well as the Southwest coast (Cape Coral, Ft Myers, Naples). We would be open to other East coast beach destinations as well.
Our goal is to be able to visit the property a few weeks and rent it out other parts of the year.
We have a few criteria that would be preferred:
- Single family home
- within a golf cart drive to the beach
- private pool
- $350-500k
It would be great to build some relationships in this community to learn about some opportunities in the market!
Thanks,
Collin
I come from that area and know how expensive things can be. Are you finding a lot of properties that meet your criteria within your price range? A golf cart ride to the beach for 500k seems like a stretch.
Yeah, we may be priced out of the panhandle market for $500k based on our criteria. We don't have much experience in visiting other coastal markets, but would be open to exploring Georgia or the Carolinas if it met majority of them.
