 Hi Sandra, you guys could start house hacking, buying long term rentals or short term rentals. It seems you have a lot of options but each business model is different with its own risk. If you are more conservative perhaps start with a long term rental that is turn key or minor cosmetic updates. Once you have it stabilize you can move onto the next and start diversifying into different parts of real estate. 

1. Here are some luxury markets that offer great appreciation. Many people from Atlanta visit and invest in 30A due to its flexibility of rentals, affluence, beautiful scenery and constant demand. 
2. Destin Beach: This is one of the most popular beaches on the Emerald Coast and is perfect for both spring break and summer vacations. The clear turquoise water and sugar-white sand make it a beautiful spot to relax and soak up the sun.
3. Santa Rosa Beach: This beach is known for its crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand. It's a quieter option than some of the other beaches in the area, making it perfect for families or anyone looking for a more peaceful getaway.
4. Grayton Beach: This beach is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, with its stunning scenery and laid-back vibe. It's a great place to enjoy water sports, such as kayaking and paddleboarding.
5. Miramar Beach: This beach is located just east of Destin and is known for its wide expanse of sand and clear blue water. It's a great spot for swimming and sunbathing, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

Our market is more limited in inventory and completely different than Orlando. Values hold better and rents stay strong due to high demand in a small area. As long as numbers make sense, enough overhead to cover for a year and location is great... I see limited risk in real estate in comparison to the other asset classes. I have 100% confidence in my market and the infrastructure being built out will fundamentally support exponential growth. 

Have you thought about buying something that needs a light rehab and establishing a good theme for the property so it's possible to increase the rents and desirability of the STR? 100k is more than enough to buy on the emerald coast. I would recommend a beach house or townhome since the majority of condos are getting big assessments and you have to pay higher points to finance it.

 Good afternoon, The Fort Walton Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Navarre and Destin market will be good for long term rentals with light rehab. Panama City beach, Miramar Beach and Navarre Beach will be good for short term rentals and long term appreciation. I'd be happy to break down some of the numbers with recent projects we are doing or have done in the past to see which strategy is the most beneficial. 

 Hi Levi, I live on 30A. There are pockets of 30A that are offering huge appreciation and growth in the upcoming years. I think the west side of 30A or Inlet Beach has a lot of potential since it's underdeveloped compared to the east side and cheaper to buy in for the same property. Let's connect and go over a few scenarios that may make a great long term investment. 

Are you looking to build or renovate with a buy and hold? If so, yes! Higher equity position with greater cashflow using these 2 models to make sure the STR or LTR net more money. In addition, this will put you in a refi position when rates drop!
