I would suggest looking in the close by neighborhoods of Oceanside, island park, and long beach.

@Sascha Weinberg I invest in Charleston, SC, Virginia Beach, VA and my favorite right now Centrally Valley CA.

Finding a beach property that will cash flow is near impossible where I am looking.My plan is to continue to save aggressively while continuing to educate myself. 

I prefer just Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake because I'm lazy and hate to drive through tunnels (time is money and I don't make any sitting in traffic on a bridge).

We have 9 month leases since it is a beach area there is little continuous leasing. 

We bought our first house in Virginia Beach.

That means I don't need to have a storm hit me right I am at, it could be a storm that hit Daytona Beach and every Citizens policy holder will have to pay an assessment. 

They are drinking margaritas or kombucha on the beach of that sort.

Somewhere around 40 units I will be looking to hire somebody to oversee the day-to-day stuff for me and only call me on the beach if there's an emergency :)

When we redid our house in the Redmill area of Virginia Beach we over renovated it with a duel head bathroom shower, and many other features because we thought it would be a personal longer than it ended up being.
