The Short Term Shop has a local office that has very experienced agents in the OBX as well.

As well as coffee shops like Bottoms Up Coffee are moving in and small microbreweries like brew dog and land grant.

I may be paranoid but it really feels safer to me to see buyer / seller in front of me with the attorney in charge, for some bizarre reason, when a person who had an online $100 or less class to become a public notary has the seller / buyer sign legal documents, I don't feel it's a safe way of verifying their identity and generally speaking I feel conducting these large deals with a table closing when all parties are present is way better.. or at least choose an agreed third party to verify identity of all parties (like a different law firm) is that just me being paranoid or is it a legitimate scare?

Also, starting with 1-2 properties might be a safer approach to build your experience and knowledge.

If you see a retail shopping center with one or more vacancies, hop on google/yelp/etc to find out what business used to be there (old yelp reviews, for example).

I'd love to sit down and get a beer or coffee some time when you're available and talk shop. 

The land is currently zoned for light industrial use and is occupied by several auto repair shops.

The short term shop website has tables for emerald coast (and some other markets) that depicts what I describe. 

Mushroom or fish farming.Are there gyms, kitchens, maintenance shops, etc?

I cannot see the Panhandle renting 12 months as projected in that short term shop projection.Thoughts?
