Tampa St. Petersburg market beachfront condos

[Matt N.]

Hi all!

I am looking at beachfront property in St Petersburg (to live in) but, ultimately, to be able to put on air bnb when we move out of it and use as a vacation home. My wife and I are STL natives and have 14 properties there but do not know the Tampa St. Petersburg market. Not necessarily looking for a huge cash flow deal but rather suggestions from anyone familiar with the area on maybe areas or condo associations to look at, specific areas you'd recommend or recommend staying away from. We'd like to be around $400k Mark for 2 bedroom - 3 bedroom and understand we may need to go a little higher. We are 29/30 age group. Beachfront looking over ocean is one criteria. 

Thanks for any help and would love to meet some investors in the area when we officially make the move!
