STR investing in Panama City Beach

[Nicholas Hausmann]

I am a first time investor and looking at multiple markets. I am considering a property between Sunnyside and Laguna Beach. The property is 0.4 miles from the beach. The house itself is a fantastic fairly new build (2017). My biggest concerns are 1) the property is not exactly walking distance to the beach, and 2) the area looks a little crummy in spots with some trailers. Should these be deal breakers?

I believe you just answered your own question. If you have two concerns just think of the reviews you might receive about those two things that you can’t change.
