Fort Walton beach short term rental

[Jeremiah Dye]

My Fiancé and I are in beginning negotiations with a current condo owner in the Miramar Beach/ Ft. Walton beach area, to purchase for a short term rental/vacation rental. We’ve looked at AirDNA, but want to make sure those numbers are close to correct. Would any property managers be willing to give their opinion on an off-beach 2 bedroom condo would do on average? Should we focus on vacationers or traveling nurses, snow birds, or all of the above?

Do not rely on Airdna.  You need to manually check the numbers by looking at similar properties on vrbo and Airbnb.  Look how full their calendars are to get an idea on occupancy, then check nightly prices at different times of the year.
