Buying a Condo for vacation rental in Panama City Beach Fl

[Chris Paumen]

Hello we are new to the sight.  We are looking to purchase a condo in Panama City Beach FL.  We will be using this condo as a vacation rental and we are wondering what the overall thoughts are on this area.  Also, do we need to have a license to rent out the condo if we hire a property management company?  Thoughts anyone?

Thanks in Advance

Chris

@Chris Paumen PCB is a good area to invest as far as short term rentals. However, if you are not in some way tied to Panama City Beach in particular, I would strongly suggest that you consider the entire Emerald Coast/Panhandle of Florida before selecting a property to purchase. I'm in Fort Walton Beach/Destin. This is an hour west of PCB. I own and manage (and sell) vacation rentals in this area. I chose this area over PCB on purpose. Nothing against PCB, but again do your broader research. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Overall, the Emerald Coast (including PCB) is a very popular STR area.
