The Emerald Coast is a region of Florida known for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and outdoor recreational opportunities, and it can potentially be a good location for building or flipping homes for a few reasons:High demand: The Emerald Coast is a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year.

The good thing about you is that you have a lot of capital and you can invest in properties that will both bring in a lot of tourist on the STR front especially where I am in Tampa where people will pay a lot of money to stay.

My 5 VRs, which I self manage remotely, are in the Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area. 13 million tourists per year12 thousand residentsAlthough!

In those towns is where the STRs entrepreneurs usually invest, they are mostly digital nomads as well and they come for the summer go when it rains, and when it rains locals fill the spot with some tourist to boot. 

This growth, driven by factors like retirees, job opportunities, and a desirable climate, increases demand for rental properties.Tourism: Florida is a major tourist destination, with attractions like theme parks, beaches, and cultural events drawing millions of visitors each year.

Basically, any good that doesn't get additional value from the fact that it is old like a collector's watch or some wines for example.

I highly suggest looking at tourists numbers for that area.

After years of cleaning, dealing with tourists, and having to be on call 24/7 you could not pay me to do STRs.

I get having airbnbs near lakes, beaches, tourist spots etc.
