Anyone own in Destin?

I have family with one at sterling sands, don't know how often they rent it out but they only go 2 weeks a summer. feel like it would be easy to rent anything in destin though

If I was to buy a condo to rent out/ have for personal use I would do Portofino in Pensacola. they are adding on two more towers and a new gulf front pool house/restaurant/workout combo thing, looks really cool. they are probably super expensive but I love the "skyrooms" or whatever they call them and you are on Pensacola but still far enough away to feel secluded. The grounds are really nice and you don't have trashy people like destin. plus access to the bay.

Damn I fricking love that place. Been trying to get mi padre to buy one but no luck. I would love to retire there, idk how much the fees are though.

how bout you buy one of those and let me stay there for free thanks

I bought a short sale home in Sandestin resort in 2010, sold for $175k more than I bought it for in mid 2014. Now I see the home value appreciated another $100k.

I should have waited to sell but it still worked out well.

Looking to rinse and repeat, but no way am I doing it now. Wait for another housing decline.

I have a condo in Orange Beach, Alabama. It is a one bedroom in Phoenix 1, for any of you familiar with that complex. I paid $200K for it a couple of years ago. It rented over 200 nights in 2015, bringing in over $26K. I don't know the percentage off the top of my head, but a huge percentage of the rents are last minute. I have 98 nights either rented or reserved so far this year and very few of those nights are past May. I expect to pick up over 100 more nights this summer.

Hope that helps.
