After you’ve chosen the right hard money lender, you’ll need to decide what part of Florida you want to invest. Local expert, Danny Margagliano, gave us insider tips on investing in South Walton Beach, Florida.

South Walton Beach, Florida, otherwise known as 30a, is an area in the Northwest Florida Panhandle with gorgeous beaches making it a prime vacation destination. Therefore most of the real estate is owned by investors. There is a mixture of new and old homes giving this area many opportunities for flipping homes.

South Walton Beach was originally developed mainly between the 1960s and the 1980s. It experienced the largest growth between 2004 and 2006. The market is been very strong in recent years. Many of these original homes are still around and are prime properties for rehab and flipping.

It is vital to work with a good real estate agent that is familiar with the market and is able to help you choose the best property to flip, for the highest potential profit. The inventory of homes for sale is on the low end. It makes it more challenging finding the best properties to purchase for investment but also gives an excellent opportunity for return on investment if you plan to make improvements to the home and sell.
