Overall, NC has been one of the country’s most popular destinations for domestic relocations for the last 10 years, which should definitely give you a decent level of comfort to consider this place for real estate investment opportunities. 

Now, I understand that markets ebb and flow and that is life, but a thought came to me: why sit in a traffic jam when I can take a new lane to the same destination?

Definitely doable but I agree that other routes to the same destination are safer paths.

I am an active investor (fix and flip and rentals) in Fort Walton, Navarre,  Gulf Breeze, east to Destin and north up to Crestview.

What areas will be seen as a destination area in 4-5 years from now?

[a][1] E-2 visas are also available to non-investor employees of the business, as long as the persons are of the same nationality as the investor and are destined for a role in the US business that is either executive/supervisory or requires specialized skills that are essential to the efficient operation of the US enterprise. [2]For new startups, the investment must be large enough to start and operate the business.

It is a process of constant corrections, all the while accounting for ever changing conditions (wind, currents, sails, storms, etc...) in order to arrive at the intended destination.

I have a friend(also active duty) who's renting his place in destin and he's glad he did!

Now I'm destined to invest in real estate to provide housing for intellectually disabled adults.  

My appraisal addendum expires Tuesday evening (was already extended by mutual agreement) to attempt to find resolution, so looks like my cost is just an appraisal.I feel bad for the folks as they are looking to move out of state and have a deal going at their destination... sure hope they had contingencies on closing this sale so they aren't loosing their earnest money, although by the tone of the sellers responses it sounds like they are getting hammered on both ends.
