Looking to buy a short term rental in Destin, FL

[Chris Gerbig]

Hello, I currently have 2 short term rentals in Nashville that are doing very well. I have them listed on all the vacation rental sites and they're both booked up through 2017. I'd like to get a property in Destin, FL and do the same thing. My family always vacations or Destin and I know it's a popular area. Can anyone give any insight on this market? A few questions I have: Should I look for house or condo? Are there any taxes/fees I should be aware of that are specific to Destin? Anybody else have any experience in this town? I don't need a full-service property manager, I will just need a company for cleanings/maintenance. I use Evolve Vacation Rentals and they are responsible for listings, marketing, payment, customer service, photography and they only take 10%. Any advice would be appreciated! Chris
