    Real Estate Auctions

    Disilvar, If you are looking --just looking. I have seen some good buys/sales IMHO. Good thing I am house poor or might try to buy something myself. You may be a realtor or investor and do not need my 2 cents. Of course there are some honest, sharp realtors like Bobby and SJ who could help if...

    Pool Owners Beware

    Sorry, to hear this. This is just one of the reasons I do not want a pool at a rental house. Hope you can recover some of the money you have to spend for pump from the deposit.

    Interest Only Loans?

    Please be nice. Not everyone knows everything. See how nice Mango is to explain. KTS, as someone who has learned the hard way I would not recommend IO loans. I know a number of people who did it to procure houses in sowal area for investment including us. If your house depreciates you are...

    Real Estate Auctions

    No, we strictly bought it as an investment. Kept it for a year--that has been the biggest mistake!!!! Has been for sale most of the last year. Reduced the price $225K in that time. It will not rent as a short term without a pool. We do not want the agony of a pool. Rentals were down this year...

    Real Estate Auctions

    Shelly you did predict this. I agreed with you as I watched the daily sale, pending and sold listings--but it was too late for us. I had watched south walton property soar for 10 yrs. I do not even understand the numbers that SJ is kind enough to post. I am a novice and did make a bad investment...

    Real Estate Auctions

    I do not really think it is funny for owners to have to sell their property at a loss. I suppose folks who take delight in this never think it could never be them. You never know what can happen in life. A lot of people who bought in the last 2 yrs are really hurting. Does anyone have...

    Seventh Heaven Rental House Question

    I am so sorry you feel sick. It was my best intention to honestly share my stay there. I am sure the view from the upper levels is breath taking. you may not be able to hear the street noise on these levels but rather the sound of the ocean. Please remember we were in the lower level apartment...

    Seventh Heaven Rental House Question

    We stayed in the lower level of 7th Heaven years ago before we built our house which is a few streets away. The owners at the time only rented the lower level. There was a path(just steps away) to the beach access which is public right beside the house. One thing I hated about it, after...

    Honeymoon night

    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. The problem with a one night rental is the cleaning fee. You may have to pay the cleaning fee in addition to the night's rent. A bit more expensive but same rate per night with no minimum is the beachside or honeymoon cottages at Seaside. Or...

    how to find this house.........sandestin

    There is a caribe section under sandestin area of vrbo.com. Before I found Seaside and 30A Caribe was my favorite place for house dreaming. There are a few rental houses in the development. I always spent more of my vacations looking at real estate than on the ocean.

    "Picking up"

    Thanks for a bit of hope. You always seem trustworthy. Sure would like to see folks not be stuck with the prices they paid in the last (Now) almost 3 years and forfeit all their savings. I begged my husband for years to invest in the area. When we did the bottom fell out and I sure feel guilty.:(

    Eastern Lake area rentals

    For Summer's Edge homes check out beachseekers.com They rent many of the homes in the area. I hear the agency is nice to owners and guests. Many have a gulfview ,but I do think any of them are directly gulf front. Kokomo looks like a great house from the pics and outside. Have a good trip!
