I think all of these areas are going to have a strong draw factor for visitors, businesses, and residents.As far as an immediate dip in prices, well Cape Coral is still 75% without power.

Vacancy rates will rise quickly.Maybe you could try an Iron A/C cage on the outside and a separate security deposit (maybe around $300 or so) to cover the A/C.The cages are ugly, but in many window A/C communities the residents understand that their neighbors (and their neighbors visitors) may be, shall we say sometimes "theft prone", and the bars can be explained as break in deterrents to keep their belongings safe.They also blend in better in a light color vs. black.If a prospect balks at the $300 and you want them, you could always offer to wrap it into the first 10 month of payments.

You can do that, and get zero visitors from SEO.
