I have found 1st lien mortgages to be very profitable.

Plus, compared to other parts of Florida, the Panhandle is still relatively affordable, making it a great option for first-time investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio.Another huge perk is Florida’s no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, which make it easier to manage and profit from rental properties.

The short-term rental market here is particularly lucrative, though regulatory changes can impact profitability. 

Section 8 can be a profitable and reliable resource but it is 'their ball, their court' so know the rules first.

Paying off rental mortgages increases monthly cash flow but reduces liquidity, while investing in hard money lending offers high returns but is taxed as ordinary income.Buying a multi-unit rental provides tax benefits like depreciation, while purchasing a business can yield strong profits but requires active management.

But then again, no one ever went broke paying tax on profit. 

Check their nightly rate, occupancy and amenities.That will give you a pretty good idea of need and profitability.

In fact, the most profitable deals I've ever done were in these markets.

Interest only loans allows them to get a goal profit of $500-$600 per month per property.3) Each acquisition would require 20-25% down at an 80-100K purchase price. 4) Closing costs, and the Eric Spofford turn-key transaction fee of 10K would be in addition to the down payment and were not included for the purposes of calculating the cash-on-cash return.

The owner took the back end profit for his park during the life of the POHs now wants to cash in again.
