Anyone have one ?

I may have the opportunity to buy one

Just nervous about the money of course and not getting a renters

It would be a seasonal rental for summers so I wouldn't have rent money all year long

Any advice ?

    You're buying this property for the sole purpose of renting it out? If not, then recapturing your annual mortgage payment may not be as big of a deal.

    Did you look at what other similar places are renting for in the area and then calculate the total rent you would receive during the seasonal period (with adjustments for potential vacancy)?

    Does that amount cover your mortgage payment for the year? Is the property in an area where values are increasing?

    Just a few things I would look into.

    Do an LLC for the property to protect yourself. My 2 cents. I have a rental as well.

    down the shore? where at?

    i wish you the best of luck man! been my goal to have a place down there by 35. sadly, i'm not certain it will happen as it will take some convincing of the new wife.

    i know some people who have places down there and the may-september rent $ should more than cover your yearly piti payments.

    i'm interesting in hearing the advice you get in this thread...

    Yeah..it would be strictly for renting

    Similar units are getting between $2800-3100 a week..but I think when they bought the market was way up. The unit Im looking at would be drastically lower in price so I could lower my weekly rental fee and still be ahead

    Mortgage price is up in the air because there are 11 units available and they are set to go to Auction. I have a price I wont go higher than so I can kind of figure out a monthly payment

    The unit is 100yds from the beach so I think the values will definitely climb back up or at least be in demand for renters regardless of the market

    Do you have any property you rent ?

    How much of a risk did you take when getting your property ?

    I'm just nervous with the unknown and not getting renters and losing my shirt

    and if you don't mind me asking, roughly how much do you expect them to go for?

  • We have 2 here on the obx (NC). Both are 3 bed/ 1 bath. We put in bunkbeds and rent only to college students at $400.00 a bed and we come out just a little ahead on the mortgage payments. It's pretty standard here. Good luck.

    No, but I work in commercial real estate...specifically, the multifamily segment. Sounds like your unit may be attractive due to the fact that you are able to charge a lesser amount for weekly rent. Stick with your price ceiling and you should be ok. It's still a good time to buy in a lot of markets and it sounds like this property will increase within the next 5 years.

    my house in long beach ny was bought for 32,000 in 1970...today its around 550,000
    steps from the beach and a jumping party town

    i could rent it in the summer for around 10,000 per month...but iam a beach bum and would totally lost w/ out it

    although with the big surf competition coming in around labor day/....i am totally thinking about it

    i could rent it and stay with my brother who lives 20 minutes away

    Wildwood Crest is nice. What block are the units on, are they near the boardwalk or totally "Wildwood Crest"

    My sister had a place there a few years back, it certainly is nice to have a place to crash for a few days get away.

    She sold it though :(

    i thought you've said that was your parent's or brother's house? :?

    did you inherit it?

    my parents are looking to buy a place down the shore too, but they are leaning towards delaware. they're gonna move down there in a couple years since they'll both be retired.

    My father bought a place down the beach in DE while i was in high school. We had it as our summer place and then when he retired a few years back, he moved there permanently. It really is a great place for retirees. He loves it there. The winters are a little dull, but he usually spends them in FL. I'm heading down this weekend to visit him and Dogfish Head! ;)

    oh that blows...my parents thought about selling it years back....but we were able to convince them to keep it (thank god)
    and they have also become beach bums in the past 10 years
    and the best part is that its the 1st town in long island..so its only a 40 min drive or train ride as opposed to 3 hours down the shore or to the hamptons

    quality brew!

    yeah, they've been talking about moving down there forever. my dad is always coming up with weird ways to spend his retirement/make money. his latest idea is to get a hot dog cart license and sell them on the beach down there. :roll: :lol::lol::lol: .....the family is not too keen on that idea.

    Awesome! He could hang out with my dad. He has a fishing boat and had the grand idea that he was going to charter other people on fishing trips and be the captain. Yeah, he just takes himself and friends/family out. It was amusing for a while though!
    Tell your Dad that those snow cone stands are really popular in the summer and so are the beach fries. People will stand in line all day for them! :?

    Thats what we're thinking the location can't be beat its so close to the beach

    I'm little nervous about the auction part of it not knowing a set price...we have to have money in hand and theres no guarantee we'll get a unit for the right price

    Same here I grew up going to Ocean City NJ don't know much about Wildwood

    We would probably have a few partners in on it to help with the cost especially in the even we dont have renters

    East Monterey Ave ?

    Seems close to everything

    Did she rent it out or just use it for herself ?

    I rented my house for a year, on a lease...so one couple the whole time....they were great tenants...and it was still a lot of work as far as dealing with all the little issues that come up. If your tenants aren't willing to chip in for minor maintenance, or deal with neighbours etc without involving you, it becomes very time consuming....I can't imagine what it would be like dealin with different people every week. I guess once you had things running smoothly it wouldn't be so bad....
