I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

I'm in Oviedo nearby, love Ormond and it's a great market!

And at the top, you need three key people: an artist (to deliver a great product), a manager (to keep things running smoothly), and an entrepreneur (to drive it forward).

Congrats on the great purchase!!

I don't ever recommend someone buy a property having never seen or been there.It sounds like @Dustin Hagemaier would be a great resource for you.

So any extra pointers or tips , books, would be great guys I would love to connect and build relationships!

Purchasing a “distressed” property and “repositioning” it requires significant capital for improvements, build outs, holding costs, maintenance.In looking for that “needle in a haystack” slam dunk great deal you’re competing with very knowledgable, greatly experienced investors with the cash to make no contingency offers and close in a few days.  

I buy to rehab and turn into rentals so Pinson, Pelham, Bessemer are a great fit for the areas and returns I'm looking for.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@Carlos OlarteCarlos, that’s a smart approach—ADUs and JADUs are great ways to boost cash flow, especially in high-demand areas like Orange County and Long Beach.
