Citrus Realty Investors Group/Crystal River, FL
Hi, I was wondering if anyone was a member of this group. Citrus county seems to be a good area to invest.

Citrus County is an awesome area to invest in. Especially with short-term rentals. I've lived here for 6 years, and the STR market is killing it, since we have so many waterfront areas (Ozello, Fort Island Trail, Pine Island, and so many more) but the only problem is that Crystal River passed a city ordinance banning short term rentals in an effort to protect the manatees and local culture. However, people still partake, of course, but now all the STRs in Crystal River are at risk for fines or shut-down. The safer area to invest would be Homosassa or Weeki Wachee, or Ozello. As a Realtor and investor myself, that is where I personally plan to invest. Hope that helps!
