Looking for Gulffront Townhome

[beachyj]

Finding someone like that is hard. As soon as they hear what I am looking for and they know that they are not out there, they start trying to steer me to pre-construction. Or at least it has been some of the pattern. Other people tell me I should buy pre-construction and flip it, but I am really looking for something to hold long term and pass down to my son. Thanks to all! Any input is most appreciated. I want to be loaded and ready to go when I arrive on June 4th!!

If it is not out there, what makes you think that you can find it?

Sounds like the people with whom you are talking are not listening to your needs.

I want to be loaded and ready to go when I arrive on June 4th!!

"loaded" as in drunk, or as in pockets of cash to buy property?

It's not too hard to find out who the pros are, just takes a little patience. Long-term is wise and most would say foolproof here. You should be able to find something you like. Long term around here these days means 2 years. Don't hesitate to pay market value or higher if you're in it long term.

You guys are too funny! I will wait until I get there to get loaded. My friend has promised me her famous apple martinis upon arrival! Perhaps armed with information would have been a better choice of words.

I do not believe that what I am looking for does not exist, just that there are no units currently for sale on the open market.

Just be patient and one will come up

Well you're right about the beachfront townhomes on 30A unless you're ready to drop about 4 million for Andante or Tagganale. You can get them in Destin and Panama City Beach though.

Regarding 30A:

I did a search for Attached units and came up with a couple which are mostly duplexes. there's one on South Spooky which is as close as you'll find to gulffront for less than a million on 30A.

Here's the closest you can get to gulffront attached units on 30A:

Take care,

Does it matter whether a place was built before the new hurricane building codes went into effect (when was that?). I'd assume the newer buildings will be better able to withstand a hurricane than buildings that were built before new codes went into effect (after Hurricane Opal?). What do you think? When we bought our cottages, being built to the new hurricane standards was very important to us.

After Ivan, I definitely felt that the new codes were worth it when I saw the damage to the older homes south of 30A in Dune Allen. It was pretty clear to me that the new stuff held up much better with virtually no structural damage (at least the ones I saw) I lost 2 fans on my top balcony but that was it. No broken windows in my area. Even the roofs seem to hold pretty well. :clap_1:
