Hey friends, I'm an agent in Daytona Beach and I locking in my first short term rental listing.

Is it near a nice beach for STR?

What @Mackaylee Beach said....at least have this guy fill out an application and check his background (and charge accordingly).

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

Indian Rocks beach which was a huge STR area was completely demolished.  

Just like there is only so much beach frontage.  

I am looking to purchase a fix and flip in Daytona Beach, Fl.

I have been thinking small office or retail (which I have experience in); larger multi family (10-20 unit), RV Storage, and have even thought about beach front hotel, or at least ocean view hotel.

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Tried to buy a place during the pandemic in NY but was getting outbid like crazy over 100k, so I was lucky enough to buy a condo in tulum mexico and do a short term rental. 1 bed, 1 bath, with community pol, 15 minutes away from the beach and 15 minutes away from the city.

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach: It's important to stay informed about developments in the areas you're considering, as well as any potential changes in regulations or economic conditions.
