Best cities in the Emerald Coast (FL) to house hack?

[Ale Rioja]

Hi everyone, 

I'd like to live in the Emerald Coast / Panhandle (Pensacola, Fort Walton, Okaloosa, Destin, Panama City, etc).

Does anyone have experience or insights as to which areas would be good for a house hack? 

I'm open to a condo or single-family / multi-family home. I'm not opposed to sharing rooms and/or doing short-term (Airbnb) or long-term leases. I'm looking for cash flow. 

If you are a fellow house hacker, I'd love to connect and share what I learned with my Austin, TX property. 

Thank you!

@Ale Rioja - I've helped a few people house hack locally in the STR market. Some prefer condos, others prefer single family houses. @Villy Ellinger had some great point for locations pro's & con's though! 

If you had a larger budget, I'd recommend a single family with an ADU/pool house in Crystal Beach in Destin. The setup is just too perfect :)

Good luck!
