what is the money talks thoughts on purchasing a small cheap house in say panama city? Seems like you can purchase something reasonably nice for less than 150k...

Is it on the beach? Walking distance? Any current rental income.
If yes to any of those then not bad, depends on the house.
To buy just so you can squat there when in the area? Not prudent in my opinion. Gotta pay insurance, property taxes, mortgage, maintenance.
But if there is an influx of jobs coming soon value may go up and you get a decent return.

Guess that depends on your definition of beach property.
Can you find an old one bedroom Condo for 150k? Yes.
Actual beach front property? You might want to add 4 more zeros.

I own on the ocean a bit north of Ft. Lauderdale. The values at one time, when I should have sold, were significant. It's leveled out.
A lot to consider. Assoc dues are usually pretty significant as concrete work is expensive. Check of CBS construction that's been updated, and make sure the deck's re-rod, or whatever it's called is the treated kind to withstand salt in the air.
With respect to any property being a good investment, it's really cash on cash, cap rate, and all the other measures that residential realtors and lenders know nothing about.
You might also want to check if there is a county tax. I pay 18% to Broward Cnty for what they call tourist tax on the rents.

They have no state income tax for their residents. It is insane, but I tend to give unto Caesar what is Caesars. You see, I did build that, Atlas Shrugged and a lot of other nice little sayings which basically means government can do as it wishes, I continue to plow forward and not let them impact my end goals.
