As an investor and agent in the Florida gulf coast, I just like the feel of Destin and what it offers more than Gulf Shores for the STR market. 

Hi everyone,Have you recently bought a house in the NC coast at the current high interest rate?

The husband was transferred by the Coast Guard.

Familiar with FL and have been looking in Tampa area, Naples/Ft Myers, 30A, Space coast, and Jacksonville areas.

Smokey Mountains, gulf coast, Rocky Mountains, etc have been on the list, but we've all but decided on the smokey mountains. 

I'm a member of the US Coast Guard.

Here on the Emerald Coast of FL, I see a lot of garages converted into game rooms

Some people are finding their insurance tripling, especially closer to the coast. 

I sell STRs on the Emerald and Forgotten Coasts of FL and currently have a 4-plex house-hacking deal under contract for a buyer. 

A major Coast Guard base is being stood up in N chs on the river, the port facility is booming and expanding rapidly, and N Chs offers some of the only reasonably priced developable RE with short commuting distance of the peninsula, Mount P, and the beaches.
