“Every day, you’ll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net.  Sure, it’s a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone… in my case, business suits and real estate… but sometimes you have to take risks.  When the risk pays off, that’s when you reap the biggest rewards.”   -Donald Trump

What Happens If Oil Hits The Destin Area Beaches?

May 3, 2010 1 Comment

Worry Abounds

Everyone who owns or lives in the Destin area along with those who visit our wonderful beaches is worried about the oil spill and what the effects will be.  As of today I can tell you there is NO OIL on our beaches yet but by all accounts there will be in the days and weeks to come. 

What Next?

Merlin Law Group will be hosting an educational town hall meeting, along with Keefe, Anchors, Gordon and Moyle, P.A (KAGM). to help those who may be affected from what is being described as the worst environmental calamity in US history, in understanding what they need to know about the oil spill and how it may affect their bottom-line. Gulf Coast Oil Spill Catastrophe: An Educational Town Hall Meeting is expected to be heavily attended by those unsure as to what this catastrophe can mean to their lives, will be held on Tuesday, May 4th at 1:00 PM in the Emerald Ballroom at the Hilton at Sandestin, 4400 South Sandestin Boulevard, Destin, Florida 32550.

I will attend and hopefully learn what property and business owners need to do now in order to prepare their property against damage and in the unfortunate event that a claim will have to be filed. Apparently they will address concerns from condominium associations, restaurants and hotels anticipating and already experiencing major interruption in their business as people who had considered vacationing in along the Gulf Coast and Florida are cancelling plans in face of the real possibility of the destruction of beaches by the spill. Also of great concern is possible evacuation should the oil cause the presence of toxins in the air and in the water.

Check back tomorrow to see the results of this meeting.

Buying Real Estate In Your IRA

February 5, 2010 Leave a Comment

Because investing and Destin Real Estate go hand and hand I think it’s very important to be informed as possible on how to maximize your investing power.  With that in mind I came across this question and answer segment on Smart Money.com  that address IRA’s and real estate.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

Q. Can an IRA be invested in mortgages or real estate?
—Linda Bruyette, Ellington, Conn

Yes, some real estate (including commercial property, vacation rentals, raw land and mortgage notes) is permitted. At best, real estate provides steady income and long-term appreciation. Usually only special-purpose banks and trust companies offer these investments, as “self-directed IRAs.”

Potential risks are high. “Self dealing” is strictly prohibited—which means you can’t invest in something you or immediate family members use or benefit from. Otherwise your entire IRA balance is treated as a withdrawal and subject to relevant taxes plus a 10 percent penalty if you’re under age 59 1/2. Plus, there’s the liquidity issue: You need a big IRA to handle buying and maintaining property while also keeping a diversified portfolio. And if you need out quickly, you better hope for a robust real estate market. A good real estate mutual fund or exchange-traded fund is a simpler choice.

Boys of Summer Back for One Last Day In The Sun

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in November the boys of summer were able to come out to play and competed in the Bilabong Surfing competition held on Okaloosa Island just West of the Pier.   It’s days like these that make me glad that I no longer live in North Dakota where I’m pretty sure they were not holding a surfing competition.

If you have ever thought of owning a place at the beach so you too can take advantage of days like these I would urge you to take a look at the Destin Real Estate market because there are deals to be had.

Golf Digest writer Peter Finch comes to Seaside to explore golf at the beach.

In the November issue of Golf Digest Magazine writer Peter Finch talks about his visit to Seaside this past summer for a family vacation.   He mentions that there are more than a dozen golf courses within an hour of Seaside with the heaviest concentration in Destin, where there is the Sandestin Resort has four (three of them with 4-1/2 stars in Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play reader ratings).  He also mentions Kelly Plantation’s Fred Couples designed course but missed Regatta Bay’s course- which I believe …
