Looking for agent on gulf side Florida for STR

[Rachel Payton]

My husband and I are looking to buy a short term rental investment/vacation property on the gulf side in Florida. We're looking as far north as the Tampa area and as far south as Naples. Not being from the area we need an agent that can really help us find what we need:

-Must be able to do short term rental

-Budget: 200-400k

-3bed 2bath minimum

-1250sq ft minimum

-Condo or townhouse preferred. But willing to look at single family too. We live far away, we need LOW MAINTENANCE.

-Parking included

-Within a couple blocks of public beach access. Of course the closer the better.

- Looking for more family friendly areas, and activities for families and kids to do.

Again we are not from the area. Literally the other side of the country. So if there's other things we should be concerned about (possible ways to limit potential hurricane damage?) we hope to find an agent that is willing to educate us on any important things we should know about investing in this area. We are eager to pull the trigger on the right opportunity.

If there's any agents out there familiar with the area(s) mentioned, feel free to message me!!
