I'm a realtor and investor in the Destin market, and there are some great options here for sure (and plenty of not-so-great options, lol) -- I'd recommend hitting up @Kyle Momany, @Melissa Haworth, or @Bri Bowhall to get you started!

Hi @Elizabeth Pare, plenty of good advise here already and i cant add much more to it.

Happy Weekend everyone,Today I want to ask how everyone deals with contradictory information, negativity and discouragement, and naysayers.What I mean by this is that with every market or strategy one chooses, you will find plenty of people saying it's great and plenty of people saying it's terrible.

There are likely plenty of contractors that will complete the job before handling other work that may come up.

Not only is that more eyeballs on the units but it seems it can bring in much higher prices as a $129 1br condo on Airbnb is a lot less appealing relative to the competition (which has plenty of 1br options in that range and many even cheaper) than it is for a $129 1br suite with a kitchen on a hotel aggregator next to high end hotels that are smaller and not any nicer but run $400/nt and up (and probably double that for anyone that narrows their search down to hotel suites instead of single rooms).In fact just for fun I looked on Airbnb at people self managing their units on airbnb and the nightly prices in the same resort were listed from $13 (!!)

On meetup.com looked like plenty to pick from.

@Christopher PolancoI live an hour away and have spend plenty time in the Hunter Area.

They have $600k in equity, but they may only be able to tap into $400k of that equity based on the banks max CLTV guidelines.That's still plenty of money to put into a deal.

Also, be sure to keep plenty of reserves for when the stuff hits the fan.

There’s plenty of restaurants and grocery stores around.
