How do you identify an agent that has successfully negotiated steep discounts on New Builds in the Orlando/Daytona Beach area? 

some concerns are  high insurance costs if it was a beach property and resale/vacancy concern if in a remote area. 

Costs are very high, but uncovered spaces aren't renting for that much (we're a frequent visitor to New Smryna Beach btw). 

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Myrtle Beach.

I have not been able to confirm any information from the local government.What I do know is Jax Beach and St Augustine already have regulations in place so that's where I'll likely head.

But it's walking distance to the beach, in a great location, and had tremendous potential as a STR (which was the primary goal) and huge upside for appreciation.The only things I would rule out, and would advise my clients to consider walking away:  Major basement water problems, significant structural issues, and evidence that prior work was shoddy, or that work was done to cover up a bigger problem. 

I'm in Long Beach and familiar with the area. 

This area of Florida has a lot of options as there are several military bases and of course the white sand beaches.

If you're custom building $100,000,000 in Palm Beach and that is their bread and butter market, they'll probably do what they can to make it right.
