Hello Stewart Vargas-Sosa

Yes Orlando was on my list. I just want to live by the ocean. However, I haven't closed the door completely on Orlando.

@BobRazler Awesome! 

I will definitely target these areas. I may be spending a few weeks in Florida in Jan-Feb to get a lay of the land. Hopefully we can chat if you are around and have a few minutes.

Thanks @BobRazler for the great info.

Little background on where I am coming from and looking forward to.

I have been AirBnb'ing a couple of studios out of my triplex in LA for past 2 years for a good cash flow. I am hoping to do the same in Florida. I picked WPB to Miami area as I would think there would be a good demand for STRs there. Plus since I will be moving there, I want to move to an area that I will enjoy living. Remember I have lived in LA for 15 years!

Having said that, i can very well live in WPB or surrounding areas but invest in the areas you recommended.

Really appreciate your insight.

-Ricky

Thanks Ricardo. Orlando and space coast was on my list.

What is the situation with STRs like Airbnb in those parts? Are they legal?

Hello,

I am thinking about cashing out from my house in Los Angeles and take the proceeds to invest in condos/Houses in SE Florida (West Palm Beach to Miami area). I will have about 500K.

Interested in hearing from other investors/locals:

1. Best areas to invest for rentals or flips?

2. Things to look out for?
