I would also look for attractions, amenities, or uniqueness within the area you are searching in (Possibly historic area, strong employment growth, etc). 

Anything unique to Jax I should be aware of when it comes to building a team there?

I have a very unique question.

We wanted a short-term rental that was a unique property, in a good location, that would appeal to visitors for years to come.

There's some complexities of doing business here that are probably more challenging than some other places, but also some unique opportunities.By hotels south of FL, you mean hotels on other islands as well?

This is underpinned by a diversified economy that boasts a strong tech, healthcare, and energy sector as well as a unique lifestyle appeal.

The purpose being to purchase a rental property without any money down.I recognize there are a few possible challenges and threats with this approach:Finding such a property is more difficult than simply purchasing something for sale off the MLS at market price.Finding a hard-money/private lender willing to lend 100% of the purchase price.The possibility that the refinance doesn't go through for some reason and I'm stuck with an expensive hard-money/private loan that I can't pay off when due in 6-12 months.Recognizing those:Are there any potential challenges or threats that I missed that are unique to this scenario?

The reason I am posting is because I think my situation may be somewhat unique as I haven’t seen any posts similar to it.

Even though this is a small state each town has a unique set of virtues and risks!

We want to build unique stay lodging (those dome homes if you care to know) which should attract more stays and higher nightly rent.
