The demand for vacation rentals in places like Destin, 30A, and Panama City Beach remains strong.

One of them told me they only have to provide 15 days notice, which doesn’t help if I am on vacation for a few weeks or haven’t checked my PO Box in a few weeks.

Maintenance hasn’t been too bad so far, and I recently made the decision to sell my business, so now I’ll be living off my rental income.My question is: What should my plan be from here?

If your client is planning to use a loan to purchase the portfolio, they should be aware that many lenders include prepayment penalties or restrictions when properties in a portfolio are sold off individually.

You have to be willing to not give up when things get difficult, or don't go as planned.  2.This journey is worth it.

We did have one, but took it down for iOS and have long-term plans to resurrect it.

Farmers Insurance has a vacation rental division called Foremost. 

This can be good because your realtor will be using them as a resource to help you plan your 1031.

I'd like to talk to someone who can help him make a plan before this gets out of control.Does anyone have a lead on how I can find his next in command that would be appropriate to talk to at Malmstrom or is there maybe an office for this sort of thing? 

It's a decent tool, but as Greg mentioned, I'd definitely plan for a worst case scenario and make sure it cash flows at the highest interest rate juuuust in case.
