I am originally from Atlanta and the combination between the nature parks, cleanliness, and the friendliness of locals quickly convinced me to make the move more permanent in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach markets.

@Dan Bryant - Try Thomas Crawford with Thomas Judy & Tucker in Raleigh. 

Apples to oranges.

Anyone who uses this in the Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino counties would be very appreciatedYoni 

It is really apples and oranges in a way. 

Hey Christopher, not sure if you may be interested in STRs or not, but feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more about the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/Fort Morgan markets!

My guess is that there are NO similar properties in the neighborhood, so the appraisal compares apples to oranges.

hello JUd i am interested in that market and i would like to connect iam actually looking at a property that needs rehab in s iowa st kc ,ks 66103 anybody knows anything about that areaany recommended contracters or inspectors?

So I am comfortable with it and I believe it has great potential being that it is so close to Orange County, the mountains and even somewhat close to LA.

It is a painful and embarrassing lesson learned and won't be repeated  or easily forgotten:NEVER  RESPOND IN HASTE OR ANGER!
