The plan for many people is to buy an investment property at the beach in Destin Florida.  And what a great plan it is:

• You get to buy in at the low ebb in the real estate cycle. Remember buy low sell high.
• You get a place at the beach in Destin that you can use up to two weeks a year to do repairs and general maintenance while still getting all the tax deductions
• You get to take advantage of the increasing rental income that is expected in the area.   Positive cash flow is a good thing.

Be careful though because it’s not always as easy as it looks and you will need access to good advice and perspective.

Here is a good start – it’s an article I found at MarketWatch.com that talks about How to buy …investment real estate.

Various strategies can be used on the road to real estate wealth. In one, investors “flip” properties by buying a house, renovating it in short order and selling for a profit. In another, investors purchase the property with the intent to hold it for many years.

One of our clients recently bought a gulf front condo at the beach in Destin Florida.  They bought it as an investment property and decided to renovate right away so that they could be ready to maximize the high summer rental season bookings.  It worked out great and they could not be happier.  Kris Moran, our Buyer’s Agent wrote a blog about the renovation project which offers great tips on how to renovate a condo at the beach.

Here at the beach I sell mostly investment properties – and mostly condos.  I absolutely love selling condos – it is easy to sell what you love and believe in!  I was lucky to meet “Mr. and Mrs. C” and spend a day of their spring break showing them condos in April.   And less than a month later, they are now the owners of a stunning 3 bedroom Gulf front condo.  And they had well over $10,000 booked in rentals before they even closed!  The condo was great when they bought it, but Mrs.  C spent 3 short days after the closing updating it with her own personal touches and next thing you know, she worked her magic and turned the condo into something truly special.  Her ideas are inspiring.  Check out the rest of the story A Beach Condo Before and After.

Pelican Beach Resort Condos has it all and you will love this beautiful unit.  Renovated in October 2010 with new a/c system, interior paint, Brazilian granite counter tops, updated furnishings and flat screen TV’s in the bedroom and living room.  Floor to ceiling mirrors in the living/dining room enhance these views from within.  The uniquely beautiful Destin Harbor, with its many restaurants and shopping, is within a short two mile drive.

You will feel like you are in paradise as you sip your morning coffee on your private balcony overlooking the crystal clear waters and plan your day ahead. You can take a stroll on the beach. Take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool. Cook out on the poolside grill or visit the on-site deli for lunch.

Work up a sweat in the fitness center. Bring your racket for a challenging game of tennis. Sit back and relax in the sauna, steam room, or hot tub. Pamper yourself with a massage. Walk to one of Destin’s fine restaurants or attractions. Or just relax at the beach and sink your toes into the powdery white sand.

Ultra low association fees plus the best rental income on the beach!  Step right into high dollar summer rental income!  If you are looking for that perfect get away for yourself or are interested in a fantastic investment property Pelican Beach Resort Condos is it.  Check out the rest of the story below.
