Not to mention some claim the smokies are recession-proof (as drivable vacation markets become substitutes for fly away markets during recessions)… who knowsIn the cities, the risks somewhat reverse.

I'm surprised to hear this in FL. I

Do the vacationers in Destin primarily fly or drive there?

However, I know enough in the last two years that I paid for a trip to the BP conference in 2019, two trips to Texas for my wife and I, a trip to Mexico for my wife and I, flew my mom to visit me last week, and my family of five is flying to Hawaii in July.

Yes, Jacksonville, Fl.  I

I failed with my first property that I purchased last June at the county auction in St Petersburg, FL. I

(I can fly back for closing or other events that requires my presence)3) If both of the above are okay, when do I need to be physically present?

Primarily I'm looking at Indianapolis, IN and Jacksonville, FL.  I

Flying in from out of state to face the fair housing administration just to pay a five figure fine doesn’t sound ideal.
