Thanks for this video
Would you mind sharing some links to condo extended rentals with beach access? We would snowbird from Dec/Jan through March/April, depending on availability 😊
I am sorry but I don't have a list of rentals I can provide. If you email me your contact at Stephanie@Taylorallenllc.com, I'd be happy to talk you through some condo areas to narrow down your search. Unfortunatly, Jen and I do not work in the rental side of real estate.
@@BeachLivingwithJen thanks for getting back to me! My husband is in heart failure now and spent a week in the hospital. They are possibly going to put in a pacemaker. We are putting off snowbirding to Florida this winter, and see how things progress with him. Again, thank so very much for the offer to provide further leads. I will definitely shoot you a message if anything changes for the better!
I still work for Red lobster and they did a lease back to the company so how would that work
I am not sure how it works in the commercial real estate world. I wish I could be of more help!
Incorrect only a veteran had to use as a primary residence. A civilian can use the VA assumable as primary, secondary or investment.
Hey, thanks for pointing that out @meaganmoreno5917! That is great news that a civilian can use an assumable VA loan as a secondary or investment property. So, does that mean anyone who qualifies to assume a VA loan can use it in this manner? I admit this process is complicated and I enjoy learning about it.
I’m in the same hotel now
I live there but I miss Texas
Stay away from 30a in summer very expensive crazy hot very crowded
The Sand Dollar Cafe. Best breakfast around and great people. Love PSJ. Our family has a house at Indian Pass.
the panhandle used to be uncrowded....
It is a little more crowded than it used to be, but I still love it here:)
If you can't afford the high beach prices then Wewahitchka could be an alternative being near the beach.
Can the 37 miles of beach be cycled? Is it contiguous?
Hi!! Very nice video, can i ask u what program do you use to make the video to look your background like that . Txs
We use a video editor:)
"does your property border to retail space" caught my attention. From your VAST experience, I'd like to get your opinion on something please. I'm selling my house. To the East of my home is nothing but industrial, commercial properties. With that said, looking ahead to an appraiser coming in. They should evaluate all homes for comps fairly and equally. To do that, imagine they draw a radius around your home 1/2 mile either direction, in all 4 directions, creating 4 quandrants. All four have properties to use as comps. Because my property only has the left 2 quadrants with properties, is it okay to bring that to the appraisers attention. I was suggesting to move my property "point" to the left 1/2 mile so that i get the same benefit as everyone else, with all 4 quadrants occupied with properties. Otherwise I am only benefiting from 50% of avail homes for comps. I feel like I'm disenfranchised. I know this was long, hope I explained it. Wish I could send a pic
I lived in maravilla before and there are some 3 and 2 story houses
I was interested in buying there or cape San Blas (to use ourselves and also rent short term) but was told by a realtor that the taxes were going to be the highest in the area soon and that there is a huge bug problem because of the bay. Wondering if that’s the case or if they just wanted to show homes in Mexico beach.
Hi! Property taxes in Mexico Beach and Port Saint Joe are pretty much the same, and both counties have lower property taxes than the state average. We live on the Bay in Destin and stay on the Bay in Port Saint Joe. Bugs are the same and not that bad. There are fewer bugs because of the Bay breeze.
I bought on the cape in December after going there for years. It’s the best place ever,I find the breeze keeps the bugs away mostly…..not always.
@@rondafun1 Cape San Blas?
Quick question. Is there more of a positive living on Bayou Drive vs Regatta Bay or would you say it’s about the same?
It is really just preference and needs. Bayou Drive is not in a gated community and does not have an association. Regatta Bay is gated with an association. Bayou Drive is all deep and protected waters. Regatta is some deep and protected and some shallow and open bay. All gated communities will cost more than nongated communities.
@@BeachLivingwithJen Thank you so much
You have the best explanation of the home stead exemption. Thank you
Thank you! I hope it helps.

Hello dear You need a professional youtube thumbnail designer and RUclips video SEO expert?
With most home owners paying 10k deductible these days. The insurance company is paying nothing.
Insurance companies are giving the home ownerin Florida the real Big one.
Hottest place I've ever been in my life. You know it's hot when you get out of the truck and look over at your friend from the Philippines and he starts laughing knowing what you are thinking It was the middle of August.
It gets hot in the Panhandle! This August was one of the hottest yet:))
You DO NOT have to live in the home if assumed without VA Entitlement substitution. The buyer is not required to occupy the property of the assumed mortgage if the buyer surrenders their Entitlement to the seller.
Wow! Jarod @jarodnoel5481 that is great information. I did not know that. Personally, I think it would be a last resort to surrender that entitlement, but I imagine there are circumstances where it is the best option. This would be a huge benefit for buyers looking for investment properties.
Also, most ask for a down pmt of 10k on up im assuming its to cover any back cost, plus ive heard you can convert it to an FHA loan, to get out from under the VA loan Identifier....any thoughts on that???
What was a surprise for you in a real estate closing?
Great info!! Thank you!
You can seller carry the remaining balance!
Nice to hear! We are looking for a winter home to base from in our small travel trailer and the area around Port Saint Joe is looking really nice! We are in another area in FL right now that we really had high hopes for, but it's just not right for us.
Good for you guys! We love the area. There are lots of state parks in all of the surrounding areas.
What Christmas song are you listening to this year?
In the Denver area in the middle of winter, it’s common to see people wearing flip-flops and shorts. It’s a Colorado thing.
Good choice👍 love mariah😘
I still prefer Hallandale Beach Florida more it’s a beautiful city with a growing communities and businesses and a good nightlife.🇺🇸❤
I spent some time down there in the Intracoastal water ways in February. It is very cool! I still prefer to come home to the small-town feeling of Destin FL.
Happy Thanksgiving!
You have to live in the home for a year before you can apply. Straight from the county appraiser.
My daughter is militar and she is relocated to Texas she needs to sell her house, she own the house for a year and I want to buy it but Im a civilian, she doesn’t want any equity since is selling to me what are the chances to asume her loan?
Hi and great question! The lending institution that holds your daughter's loan (aka: where she pays her monthly mortgage) is going to be your best resource. Call up her institution and ask to speak to the authority on assuming her loan. Each institution has a different set of rules/qualifications for assumption. Generally speaking (not as the expert in your situation), you would need to be able to qualify for a VA loan in order to assume one. However, there are exceptions so call and see what they say! Your daughter will actually have to be the one to call since it is her loan.
Has an As Is contract worked in your benefit? Tell me what your goal was and how this contract helped you achieve it.
You can't cherry pick appraisers nor discuss crime rates in an appraisal.
Oh good ones! Yes, appraisers and realtors are limited in what they can disclose due to fair housing laws. Everyone at the table needs to do their own research.
Just curious what makes Western Lake infamous. I can’t find anything tragic or negative about it on the interwebs. Great video! Going today because of your video.
I hope you had a great ride! Just thinking about it makes me want to do it again. I guess I need to apologize, I did say infamous but apparently, I used the word incorrectly. My husband had a good laugh at me when we realized the wrong word came out. I hope you didn't spend too much time looking for Western Lake's bad qualities as it is really quite the opposite. We recently took paddle boards out there and played on the lake all day.
A little summary of the type of materials used to build a home; Cement Steel, Wood, Glass and Stone. I favor the Modern and Contemporary combo style of homes.
I thought you were giving me a reason, not to remove Zillow as a home search site. Actually quite the opposite.
What is a home design or trend that you just don't get or agree with?
Tell me some of your home buying regrets! Help us all avoid the same mistake.
Just what I was looking for. I’m a PCB native but am want to explore more of our local areas.
Go! It's so much fun!
First time your channel. Awesome job.
Thanks!!
Question about the shoreline on Panhandle beaches. We just got done with two fantastic weeks in NW Florida, covering Pensacola Beach to Panama City Beach. We loved our trip, which was both for pleasure and our screening process for retirement locations in 2025. One challenge was that we didn't find any beaches that are basically flat or gently slopped into the water. Is this a seasonal thing or is it always like that in the panhandle? With 50 years of beach travel, we are very used to common variables at beaches i.e. tides, winds, water clarity, and topography etc. (Florida/GA/SC/CA). However, during our visit to the Panhandle, no matter which beach we were at, the shoreline was was like walking on a hill or an uneven ledge. We had no indication about these coastal ledges anywhere in our research. Comfortable walks on the shoreline are a huge part of our decision making. In our senior years, we want to walk on the beach in an area that most often is safe and comfortable, and keeps us active for as long as possible. We have worked hard for and dreamt of having the beachcomber experience as part of daily lives. Thanks ahead of time for any info on this that you can provide.
Hi! I am glad that you enjoyed your time along the Emerald Coast! I know what you are talking about, but it might be best explained in a phone call. There has always been a slight angle by the edge of the water, but it does vary between flat and angled. I've never thought about it, as all the beaches I have been to worldwide vary along the shore.
Has anyone be blindsided by a special assessment?
Which resort is your favorite in Destin? I am on a mission to see as many as I can.
This song has been memed so many times
