Anyone on here have or know of anyone who has a townhouse on Horizon South or know anything about that area. Looking to buy a first time STR. We are looking at a house on the West side of PCB and wondering everyones recommendations- would you choose a house- 2 blocks from beach with a golf cart- (I can link the VRBO for anyone to see) or go with a Townhouse in Horizon South.

Thanks for your recommendations.

Horizon South has townhomes AND condos. Be sure you know which one is which. The condos also LOOK LIKE townhomes, so just be clear.

I echo what others have said. I sell the entire Emerald and Forgotten Coasts, or as I like to say, "between the Colas" (Pensacola and Apalachicola). 99.9% of my clients buy remotely, and many of them don't come in person, even for closing. I am happy to tour you around if you DO choose to visit, but I am equally happy to do video tours, FaceTime with you, and anything else you need to be comfortable purchasing from a distance.

I also come complete with recommendations for everyone from lenders (@Raymond J. Rodrigues is on my list!) to insurance brokers to inspectors to handymen and cleaners.

Happy to speak further with you about my area any time.

Thank you, @Michael Baum for the mention!

If it's allowed, it's not a "loophole". ; )

Quote from @Alecia Loveless:

@Jessica DiPonziano I just hired a professional real estate photographer to take pictures of my 5 largest properties. It was definitely worth it. He charged $200 plus mileage, $25 to go to each property and shoot 6 photos of the property. He did an amazing job considering my buildings are not the beautiful expensive houses he usually has to work with!

I plan on creating a fairly simple website for my rental business using them.

I’ve already, less than 1 week later used one set of them in an ad for an apartment that I then went out and took much less quality photos of the interior of the apartment to use for the listing. I had excellent success and found a great tenant who fell in love with the building and then after I explained my interior pictures were taken with a phone he came to the property and absolutely HAD to have the apartment.

Don't know what market you are in, but my RE photographer charges $100 for a med-sized property (+$50 for drone shots), and I get 30-50 pics.

I am probably 6 months - a year out from looking there. We owned a property several years ago, but we sold it when the HOA asked us to pay $25k for a roof.

You must have been in PC Beach. Can't think of a place here with an HOA that would ask that. Unless you lived in a residential condo. Tell me more about where your place was.

Hi there - I'm looking to network with STR investors who either already own property in Panama City, FL or who are looking to own here.

I look forward to chatting with you!

Hey @January Johnson, do you think there is opportunity for STR in PC, Even-though its not Directly on the beach?

You know, I have FOUR STRs in PC, walkable to the BAY but not the white sandy beach, so YES! : )
