If you have 110k in cash to work with then there will be is a high probability you'd be able to BRRR properties here.

Prices were sky high.

Being raised near Winmark in Port St Joe this has been “up and coming” since I was in high school and we are talking 18 years ago.I was just there visiting my parents and I do see some more houses going in there and maybe the popularity from the hurricane has brought many investors but I still know what it is like there come August-Feb (ghost town) and that is why I personally haven’t owned anything (yet) back home for short term.Now I could be wrong and the money is good enough to offset all the slow months.Just giving my perspective as I would be more inclined to buy something in Panama or Destin where there might be more foot traffic if I had to pick between them.

I know this is dinner time, they have a food truck there with pretty decent options.

I highly recommend Massanutten to any one that's considering a vacation rental home.

Thank you Joel appreciate your wisdom in the handling of this difficult situation.Gives me a lot of good food for thought.

The important thing to understand with the market right now is that there aren't very many people buying - because the rates are so high. 

Very informative and I highly recommend! 

-obviously this is super high level and I don't have all the details figured out....but I'd love your input. 

With townhomes and condos not appreciating as much and rates still high - I want to make sure we're making a good long-term decision by buying instead of renting.
