Buying Property in Seaside/30A
Does anyone have a rental property around Seaside/WaterColor or 30A? I've been going there for over 20 years with my family, my parents own property in Destin and my sister and I are looking to buy a vacation home/rental property in 30A/seaside. I started looking around at Airbnb's in the area and I think the majority are owned by rental companies or older people who don't really understand the best way to utilize airbnb. Any insight in the market or that area would be helpful! I know prices are expensive there but if we could just get the mortgage covered, that would be ok.

Thanks @Caleb Richardson I think that has a lot to do with the age group of people who are renting these spaces out. My parents use VRBO (for now) I use Airbnb. I still think it's weirdly a bit of an untapped market in that area. People who are posting homes on Airbnb don't seem to know how to best utilize the platform.
