Get the info on the property, do your analysis and show them what the numbers say.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

I am particularly interested in starting out by house-hacking, and have been monitoring the MLS in fort walton beach/destin/pensacola since day 1 of starting my job to try and familiarize myself with the market dynamics.  

You are destined to succeed. 

Markets - any destination market - smokies, beaches, lakes disney etc Also a KEY here is going to be successful self management of the property.

Seems like this could be a semi-year round destination?

You wouldn't get in your car and just start driving without a destination unless you just wanted to occupy your time, burn some gas and see a little of the country.

Hoping to take some trips to Branson once we have some kiddos since it seems to be a popular family destination. 

Side Note: A couple of family members have been buying in Destin, FL and are doing extremely well.

I have enough cash for down payment on a small place in Tulsa, our next destination.
