Should Insurance Scare Me Off
I've heard stories of investors paying crazy money in Insurance that makes investment properties that much harder to be profitable. Am I making a big deal over nothing? Looking at some properties between Destin and PCB.

@Andrew Shepard Hey! I think you may be over looking it. In some areas, insurance may be higher because of flood zones but there is still plenty of room to find a good deal and make a profit. I have a STR right on Okaloosa Island near the water and insurance has not been a factor for me at all. Its a great area to invest and i would highly recommend it, let me know if there is any way i can help :)
