First STR

preeti sood Overland Park, KS

this will be our first time buying a STR:

Quick calculations: Would you buy a $1.25mil property that brings in $160k/yr in west Panama City beach? No HOA. Built in 2019. Other houses  that are similar have 1k in expenses/monthly. Putting down 20% at 3.375 interest rate 30 yr fixed. Projections for next year $180k (I doubt this number). CoC 13% at current numbers (using a property management), 25% (self managing). 
Yes or no and why? 
Thanks!

Hi Preeti!  I personally use a "10%" rule, so I would expect my property to bring in revenue that is at least 10% of the purchase price.  So, for $1.25 million, if it historically is bringing in at least $125,000 a year, then we would consider purchasing the property.  With $160K/year projections, it sounds pretty good to me!  I recently bought in PCB and would love to connect you with my agent there if you aren't already working with someone! Let me know!
