Best Florida STR Market

[Matthew Stallings]

I currently have a cabin in Gatlinburg that is cash flowing well. The market there is inflated right now so I'm looking to purchase my next STR property in Florida (possibly Emerald Coast) doing the second home loan with 10% down. I know that Florida's condo's come with high HOA fees that hurt cash flow.

I'm looking for someone experienced in the FL market (Avery Carl is the go to for Smoky Mtn. market) who knows of good neighborhoods and areas where houses are allowed to do STR and will cash flow well through Airbnb/VRBO. House would be in the $350-500k range and I'd like to self manage remotely. Can anyone help me out or steer me in the right direction?
