Would real estate prices in certain regions rise rapidly due to demand from both local and international buyers? 

While this is a cool area with natural springs that does draw in people, most people are local to FL and there is a lot of camping. 

Laundromats are open to the public, and if the local neighborhood has a high crime rate and transient population, those can be potentially expensive problems that can affect your business.

We likely need to look for local lender that is keeping loan in house.  

Here's what works for me: 1) Posting your property on Facebook Marketplace2) Craigslist3) Talk to local universities or big corporations who may need short or long term housing for their clients4) Property managers are hit or miss.

Wash dishes at the local restaurants.  

Of course this all depends on if you are buying locally, right?

Hey John, welcome to Sac BP -- I'm a local broker and property manager, we manage 100+ Airbnb listings and generally recommend investing in Multifamily as opposed to Single-Family.

Hope to see you around in local real estate events. 

It may be best to partner with someone that has done one before or somehow is a local expert on lot splits.If you can add a bathroom into existing space on high cost property it can add a lot of value.
