San Marco, Riverside, and most beach areas will probably have the best chances of appreciating, but are now so expensive that healthy cashflow is not likely.

I've helped plenty of investors find the right investment for themselves, and generally, 30A is more of a lifestyle purchase, where my clients accept breaking even or smaller cash flows.

I’ve found that with this strategy, you can actually achieve pretty healthy cash flow in a market where that is normally tough to find.

If you look at those 3 major factors, I'd see what would work best for you to fit the lifestyle you want. 

the calculator is really just a guideline but how much you can spend really depends on your lifestyle and what kind of other income/debt and your risk profile appetite. investing in real estate may not be suitable for someone making only 40k/year but decided to have a brand new land rover, this business would kill you fast. but if you literally have zero debt and have good discipline then this business is good.for REI general guideline is 1/3 of net income can be attributed to real estate.

If there's high demand for housing, a tight market, and healthy economy, then it's easier to convince lenders to get on board.
