Advice and potential connections for new investor moving to Destin/FWB

Posted

I am moving out to the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area at the beginning of next year in January for work. My goal is to buy a house in the area and house hack the remaining rooms. I am hoping to connect with other like-minded investors that have or are currently in this process.

    @Nicholas Bourgeois thanks for the post.  You have some good comments above but I would also suggest to try some local real estate meetup groups. Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too. Even facebook might have some good local groups for you. Some of those facebook groups have thousands of members. Eventbrite too. Thanks!
