Considering buying a condo in Clearwater Fl( Vacation Rental).

[Shane Craig]

My family and I enjoy going to Clearwater each summer and I think everyone has wanted a condo at the beach.

This will be first time purchasing an investment in a different state. I know the best months to rent a property are from Nov-Mar. I have a few questions about vacation rentals. Not trying to make a lot profit on this rental. I would be satisfied if the investment paid for itself and my families airfare. 

How much rent should I be able to get with a 2br/2 bath 1000 sq ft with in walking distance to the beach

What property management company would you recommend in Clearwater?

Which areas rent out well and which don't.

What should I consider when buying a vacation rental?

HOA or Not?
