New Investor

If you’re like us, you believe in the long-term value of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Sarasota and Manatee County continue to attract year-round residents, seasonal homeowners, and short-term renters thanks to their strong job growth, lifestyle appeal, and coastal location. 

If you’re also like many investors, the idea of owning an investment property can feel overwhelming — late-night maintenance calls, managing tenants, or coordinating repairs from afar. That’s where strategy and the right partnerships make all the difference. 

At The Paxton Group, we help investors identify strong opportunities while reducing the day-to-day burden of ownership through trusted local resources and experienced guidance. 

Understanding the numbers is just as important as finding the right property. 

To help you evaluate potential opportunities, we recommend including an ROI calculator on this page. This tool will allow users to input key variables such as purchase price, estimated rental income, operating costs, and financing assumptions to better understand projected returns.

Real estate investing is most powerful when paired with the right knowledge. We believe informed investors make better long-term decisions.
