Michelle, I cover the entire Emerald/Forgotten Coast of FL for The Short Term Shop. 30a is one of the best places on the Panhandle. 

I’ll explain an example scenario:The house is listed at $75,000 and my estimate is that the property needs roughly the same amount for the rehab.

The point is... narrow down your criteria, shop the vendors, and find specialists! 

.- Look for stale listings of cheap vacant lots that tend to fit that criteria. - Buy a bunch of them. - Lose out on most (now you're stuck with that vacant lot that, if you go sell it, will be a stale listing with little/no interest), win on a few, and hopefully the wins offset those losses. 

This will be something I am adding to my list of things to look into when buying the next property that is for sure. 

I have talked to others in the area and it really is hit or miss, but good management and a professional listing really seems to make the difference.

A plumber/electrician/AC shop where customers never come to the shop?

I have come across a few and even listed one recently with a assumable loan but they need about 30% down because of the seller's equity position

Hope you were able to offset some of those glowing reviews, and maybe a courtesy report to the local BBB and Angie’s List.
