Both PCB and Destin have local governments and communities that actually welcome vacation rentals.

There are small communities in Texas where the 3 or 4 small brokerages in town just keep a list between themselves or have created a Facebook group among themselves to promote their listings.I have run across a few Brokers over the years that just worked with buyers in the purchase of HUD/VA foreclosures and were not Realtors and therefore not members of a Board/MLSHowever, in any MLS that I have been involved with if the Broker is a member of the MLS, all of their agents are also required to be members. 

I typically recommend that community for people that plan to use it personally and can justify the higher HOA costs and membership fees.

I’m working on building strong relationships in the local REI community and learning what experienced investors are looking for. 

Welcome to the community.

It’s reassuring to know there’s a supportive community of experienced investors willing to share their hard-earned lessons.I’ve taken a ton of notes and feel much more prepared to move forward with a smarter, more intentional approach.

I am wondering if this area is 1) investable, 2) safe, 3) What is the long term outlook for this community? 

Hi Tyler, welcome to the community!

Enjoy the community and don't ever rush the journey.

Good feedback i will take this under consideration. i would love to have a community of nurses and flight attendants and pilots.
