With boutique shopping, world class restaurants and golf courses, fun-filled attractions, highly-rated school districts and well-known military bases, Destin to 30A now competes as a true global area.

Clair Shores look pretty attractive for investment.  

It is in an area that is growing and where I believe we will attract young families or college students once our children graduate.  

Also I do good landscaping to attract the buyers.

The 2 apts I saw were functional but not attractive or updated.  

If there is a lower priced alternative that has the same results, that will attract buyers and sellers.  

Therefore, my thinking is to create a relationship with ideally a group of cash buyers where I can get the specs of what they are looking for first, so that I am acquiring attractive deals.  

It's a career filed that probably attracts a certain type that is more risk-averse (think accountants)  but I can't think of any filed that will have you better prepared and able to invest than this one. 

Whats happening to you is you see the potiental and whats growing in you is the emotional attraction. your best bet it to go look at this house stand outside for a few hours have a moment of silence and never look back again.

I may settle for B+ but I would not go any lower.For this type of tenant I need an A-B+ class property but these properties are overpriced and the rents for them are not high enough to produce good cashflow.If I move to B-,C territory, I can buy some cheap properties but they would still be cheap after rehab and attract only low quality tenants.So, my requirements contradict each other.
