Buying a beach rental property?

Anyone done it?

My extended family and I stayed in a 7 bedroom places last year on the outer banks that is now for sale for around $900,000. Just happened to run across it today.

It rents fro $5500 per week in the high season and as low as $2,200 other times. Even in this economy it is rented all but three weeks the rest of the year.

Based on what i would expect for mortgage + maintenance + rental company this property would easily break even if we kept it for a few weeks in high season.

I don't have a down payment right now so its moot but does anyone do this? Is it a huge pain??

I have a rental in North Myrtle that was purchased in 2000...3rd row...no where NEAR the luxurious place that you have described....and I let a realty company manage it. They get 15% off the top and the renters pretty much pay the mortgage on it but it's a constant upkeep. The coastal weather takes a beating on a house but it's an investment..it will be a great retirement home or if some big hotel chain comes along and wants the land I can be bought. :cool:

We stayed in Nags head this summer at this place, which is listed for sale. 7 Beds, 7 Baths, $675,000. We paid $5,200 for the week. On the website below, it says that the mortgage is estimated at $3900 a month. So if this house stays booked throughout the summer, and gets a descent amount of traffic through the colder months, you could make that work. Hell in June, July, August @ $5200 a week x 14 weeks, it is bringing in $72,800!!! So if the mortgage is 3900 a month x 12, that house cost you $46,800 a year + insurance and tax. So you would easily pay for the house in the summer profits, plus bring home some extra cash.

Some details about this house:

One street off the beach, 2 minute walk to the beach with a private boadwalk. It has its own pool, with cabana bar, hot tub on the 3rd story balcony. And it was in a really nice neighborhood.

Insurance is high as hell for that property. I was paying $2000 on a $150k house 10 years ago that was 3 miles from the ocean.

property tax and insurance on that house will be absurd. I talking absurd. my family has a beach home(not a big baller home like the one you are talking about but it is on the water). Where our house is (outside Charleston) lots of people bye beach houses to rent or do whatever (talking about the big ones on at the ocean).......most are forced to turn right back around and try to sell them as they bite off more than they can chew. I lot of people buy these fancy beach homes....realize they can't afford them....and then struggle to find some one to take it off their hands. I say be VERY careful before jumping into that.......

Cost of upkeep (normal and damage from renters or storms), taxes, you can only stay x amount of weeks down there and be considered a "rental" property so you have to be careful on the tax writeoffs, upcoming loss of mortgage interest deduction (in budget negotiations), MORTGAGE.

If you're looking at it as an eventual retirement home...sure. If you're looking at it from the perspective of a money making operation...I can almost assure you that you will not make a dime.

Definitely a retirement home. We started renting a house in the outer banks every year since 2004. Usually $6,000 for the week. And its always too short but the idea of dropping $12,000 or $18,000 for an extra week or two is silly.

If we had a house that was break even or close to it while serving as our free vacation house as well as building equity to where we would own it one day, that would be sweet.

Its all great until a hurricane comes along and not only wipes out the house but puts part of the lot underwater and you cant rebuild.

We had a family friend go through this at Long beach many years ago. The storm reshaped the beach to the point he couldn't rebuild. Bank eventually sized the property and sold it a decade later when the corps of engineers dredged out the channel between Long and Holden and rebuilt the lot with the dredging.

Thanks but no thanks.

I was just there yesterday on my boat- looking at the two new houses standing there thinking - what a dumb place to build a house. Saw a couuple of decent kinis at the sand bar while I was there too.:)

If it is fully insured why would this be an issue?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
