So that's my sample size of n=3 for you...That said, insurance costs for flood and wind were a key factor in me *not* investing in a couple of properties in Gulf Shores. 

Right across the street from this property is a newly renovated apartment building http://www.arlingtongroveapts.com/index.aspx  Researching the area:https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/...https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/n/wells-goodf...http://www.stltoday.com/search/?

If you are interested n Edmonton and want to talk about properties feel free to message me.

At that point it was worth it for me to pay the $25 or whatever each month to a 'major' brick-n-mortar bank.
