Here are some towns to consider based on the economics, affluence of buyers and stability: The Emerald Coast, which includes cities such as  Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Panama City Beach, has seen job growth in recent years, particularly in the tourism and hospitality sectors.According to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the leisure and hospitality industry is the largest employer in the region, accounting for over 27% of total employment.

We found one in a popular destination spot in the mountains region of NC and moved quickly to check it out and make an offer.

But ask the person buying an average 3br home in Destin with no pool for $1M or an average 3br forested cherry cabin in Gatlinburg with no view for $800k right now how they're doing and they'll say the same. 

The good news is that it is still a popular destination and there are a lot of visitors annually.I have been  in the vacation rental industry for almost 20 years now and have been personally involved in hundred of thousands of reservations.

Flood insurance is destined to go up, because the gov has realized that it is insane to rebuild homes that flood on a regular basis.

Another destination of choice for investors in Austin area is Elgin.

Hello BP Community,ISO recommended CPA’s and Real Estate attorneys in the Florida panhandle (Panama City Beach, Destin, Fort Walton, etc) with experience in solo 401k’s, STR LLC’s.

Also another idea I have is Ketchikan is a huge tourist destination, our population doubles in the summer months, but I have an in with a tourist company that I could rent a multi family by room to increase my income, and the tourist company would deal with most of the drama that the tenants would have if the problem pokes its head up.

I live in the Lansing, MI area, so not a big tourist destination by any means, but I should be able to make some traction with both of these methods.  

There are also a lot of attractive destinations for investors as it offers relatively low home prices compared to other states in the US.Did you know that Ohio has a 1% rule this is actually a common benchmark for rental investments.
