The Panama City market has been sliding forever thus why I never recommend buying much in the city except if you want to move here (still...renting makes more sense at the moment)Investing in the city really only comes down to doing a STR business based either on leverage or co-hosting models as rents are extremely low and there is SO MANY apartments and houses that are empty, doing nothing for 2 or more years.

Companies like Wal-Mart and Jiffy Lube, as well as Realtors have already been hit with multi-million-dollar lawsuits for sending non-compliant (illegal) text messages without proper (required) consent, or opt-in.You don’t want to risk finding yourself in the same situation, which is why adhering to compliance regulations is so important, so make sure if you are using SMS Marketing for Real Estate, be sure your next campaign is compliant.https://reimachines.com/sms-compliance-for-real-estate/

An Architect can look out for your best interest in the project plus can bring all the Engineers necessary for the build (Civil, Structural, MEP, Sprinkler/Fire suppression, etc.)As far as the build itself, if it's in an established city or town on a tax lot, then you'll need to go through the design and permitting process, gain zoning approval if necessary, and then build up from there.

As far as the RMD is concerned, you have to plan for it.

Work with your tax professional to see what you basis is so you understand the tax liability if you sell. 

California would go as far as looking at her credit card statements to prove she spent more of her time in CA. 

As far as renting out rooms, that would probably be the most feasible option but not going to work for our family (we have three small children thank G-D)Would love to hear if you have any suggestions!
