Palm Coast might not have the flashy reputation of Miami, but there’s a lot to love in that area’s growth potential.I’ve been around the real estate block for a few decades, and one thing I’ve seen is that luxury rentals can thrive when they’re more than just “pretty”.. they need staying power.

I had one give me a $1795 on one property and another one give me $1600 on the same size house just a couple blocks away.  

Urban areas can definitely be tough to gauge from a google maps search because environments are street by street, block by block.  

I think access is a major stumbling block to the Oregon coast. its just a long way from everywhere.. and the amenties as you state that are missing.Its super popular though for Oregionians no doubt.Keep in mind though from Jenner CA north through Ft.

Our logical process:1) Use Neighborhood rankings to narrow down area of city you want to invest in2) Focus on getting to know that Neighborhood(s), so you know the good & bad streets, block-by-block.3) Be patient to acquire properties on good streets that meet your buying criteria.Our rankings are done with a "bell curve" approach.

We have zip codes that have lower and and higher end areas within the same zip so not a good marker to use.Going along with that a lot of the neighborhoods are very street by street or change pretty quickly by block, so you have to be aware of that.

The bigger concern I would have is low pressure due to blocked pipes, especially to the bathrooms.

I live in the city and have a freakish map of it in my head that my wife is still shocked by when she gives me an address ("2100 block of _______Ave.?"

Every penny draining your pocket for the things out of your control, sucks!

Payed for the so called free CD/DVD stuff and all of the sudden they are charging me $40 and $98 a month for something I never signed up for.You got to watch these gurus they like to sucker people in with these free CD's,etc but in reality it's a scam to drain you of monthly charges for something you never asked or signed up for.People like that belong in jail.
