Work mostly in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores but I'm happy to run a search for you. 

Now I am considering a short term rental in an area like Florida or Gulf Shores, AL.   

Glad to see the haters on FaceBook don’t have BP accounts; I posted this in a RE forum there as well.Just to follow up, we were contacted by a temporary housing firm AND a qualified tenant this afternoon and should get this unit leased tomorrow… after getting a CASHIERS CHECK of course!

The cap rate doesn't meet my 12% once I move in, but this is just a temporary move so I plan on renting it out after about a year or so. 

Where you are at when you are not working off shore? 

Another thing to consider is that if these are temporary such as in the case of a capital assessment, find the present value of these increased costs and make sure that is deducted from the price of a similar asset in your valuation math.  

Many of the agents in my office work the Main Line and work in Margate or Ocean City down at the shore in the Summer.

Recently picked up a house in St Clair Shores.

For temporary savings what are the odds of a caretaker gig?
