Looking for a Rental Property to later become my beach home

[Carly Lopez]

Hey all! I am new to BiggerPockets and recently made the decision with my husband to pursue investing in Real estate in the South Florida area. We are currently living in Los Angeles but went to college in West Palm Beach. Ideally, we are looking for a single-family home with a detached garage apartment to rent out these units to college students who attend our alma mater. 

Is it too high of an expectation to hope to buy a single-family home (with detached second unit) that I rent out now for reasonable cash flow that ALSO fits a lot of my own personal criteria for it to be my future beach home? 

Does anyone have lots of experience in West Palm Beach SF rentals?

Thanks in advance!!
