Absolutely! My out-of-state clients have been successful in purchasing BRRRRs and flips here. Additionally, macroeconomics looks great - job growth, population growth, and lots of companies like Google, Honda, and Amazon are building and developing here. Let me know if you have any questions! 

Hi Shelby, welcome to the BiggerPockets community! This is a great place to learn, ask questions, and network. I am an investor myself and moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH to start purchasing rentals here that have tons of appreciation and hit the 1% rule. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!

Awesome! I'm well versed in both so let me know if I can ever help you. A quick note on STR, the market is competitive here and pretty saturated with rentals in town(specifically those not on the beach). You really need to have a great property or be able to stand out in some way to be successful with STR at today's prices/rates. Our beaches will always draw plenty of visitors in my opinion and are a safer bet because of limited land and fewer properties available to convert to STR. That is, if you can find a property where the numbers work.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets, 

I’m an investor based out of Columbus, OH. I'm originally from Pensacola, FL, but moved up here to invest. I’d be happy to connect and chat anytime!

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

Welcome Shelby!  Are you looking to invest in short, medium or long term rentals?  The gulf coast is a great market and offers opportunities in all 3 areas.

Hey Shelby! Tons of great short, mid, and long term rental opportunities on the Emerald Coast of FL, just east of Gulf Shores AL. Let me know if you need someone in your corner over here, I am happy to help and run some numbers for you!
