Hey Tom I have a lot of experience here in Pinellas County, currently managing about 65 units.I would recommend staying out of Tarpon as they are strict 30 night minimum rental, and the demand is not as high as Clearwater/St Pete which also have 30 night minimums. 

It shows the properties in this neighborhood range from 22K-70K, which would make this property 17% above the high end of the market.The projected renal income also seems to be a bit high, but if the property really is at the top end of the market (like the pricing would suggest) this might be accurate.If you assume the above rental estimate is accurate that would take this property from being above the 1% rule to below.Overall I get that on a listing you would want to be aggressive, but the price seems very aggressive. 

I would highly suggest using them.
