$185,000 Direct Gulf Front Investment Condo
- Low End Approximate Annual Return $33,000
Example of one unit with the HIGHEST rental fee - MLS #7098336 List Price:$185,000 Direct Gulf Front Investment Condo
17100 Gulf Blvd #114 N Redington Beach. We talked to listing agent for some of the information below..We used low end figures for the ball park estimates.

$13,000 to $16,000 gross income....35% rental management fees - We asked if that fee was negotiable...they said it was not negotiable, even if you bring in your own renters.
$13,000 X 35% = $4,550 Deduct from $13,000 Equals  ....Appx Gross Income $8,450

15 to 30% Appx Appreciation for Gulf Front Investment Condo in Pinellas County in the last 3 years (no guarantee it will continue at that pace)  Assuming bought at the full asking price - 15% X $185,000 = $27,750 annual

Monthly Maintenance Fee: $268 X 12 = $3216
$27,750 + $8,450 = $36,200  minus annual maintenance fee $3,216 =
Approximate Annual Paper Return $33,000
Ball park figures - does not include your tax benefits, if any. Consult with your accountant for setting up any S corp or LLC etc
