@Sebastian Giraldo. While I totally get where you’re coming from and understand this is likely necessary in urban markets.... it’s not for me.

I don’t have time for this -I’m too busy making money. My descriptions throughly describe the house. They can decide if this is the house for them or not. I’m a real estate investor not a travel agent.

Instant book all the way.

Context: 

I’ve got 2000+ 5 star reviews and I do own my properties.

@Benjamin L. Truth be told condos are not for me. Gates are not for me. I like single family 2 or 3 blocks in from the beach. You’re also dealing with holiday isle which has the most restrictions in the entire emerald coast.

Years ago I ALMOST bought one at surf and racket. Was under contract. Backed out when er saw the loan terms. I was a totally different person back then. Make sure you google “non warrantable” and know what your getting into. Looking back I do wish I’d followed through and bought it.

I like Chrystal beach and 30a and I own in both areas.

@Sherise Seecharan. This question is not for the short term rental forum. You’ve got about 10 steps before you bring this to us. That’s my way of saying I have no idea. I don’t believe I’d be interested in such a thing.

@Joseph Cameron absolutely no softening here. My properties are booked for higher numbers and further out than ever before.

Perhaps to position themselves for the upcoming IPO.
