If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

My question is: Is there much of an opportunity in raw land flipping in this type of rural setting or should I focus on more concentrated counties that have tourist value?

If they take the money for the booking the onus is on them to pay the sales and use tax and the tourist tax, if you take the booking its yours, if your mc takes the booking its theirs.......and if they don't guess who foots the bill and the fine.If you have the time and can get guests to contact you directly before booking then you have much more control of who is renting your home, not always a guarantee but a lot of home owners prefer to do that. 

Returns like that are why NYC/LA/SF/Paris/London attract investors worldwide. 

Is it a tourist attraction area, where it would make sense to do airbnb and get great cashflow, even if a normal tenant cashflow wouldn't work?

Well, the rich hotel and tourist industry had lobbyist to keep the 99% of business in Waikiki vicinity, but hey that's another topic).All that is mentioned, protect yourself.  

I pay taxes to:6% State of Florida (Sales Tax) $50/year 5% Tourist Development Tax (Okaloosa County Tourist Development District) $17.50/yearThis is why there are 24 returns per year: 2 returns filed per month (one for the state and one for the county.)We also have to pay a Florida Resort Dwelling application fee each year ($90/year).You have to register with each entity...it does not happen during closing on the purchase of the property.

Thanks so much for offering such a gem in this world-wide web!
