Good morning Darren,

Panama City is where you want to go to get "more for your money" in that price range. If you want to be in town, then this will be great for you. There are many listings under $88,000 that you may be interested in. Visit this link for all the homes, mobile homes and town homes for sale in that price range:

There are quite a few, 91 to be exact. Some of my favorites are 385671, or 373866, or even 378138. Visit the web reference below and in the MLS Number field type them in individually.

Let me know if my team or I may assist you. Best wishes. - Wed Sep 3 2008, 07:14

Hello James!

Panama City Beach would be the best possible return on investment. If you were to buy in, lets say, the west-end of Panama City Beach, I think you would get a better ROI since you could rent it out either weekly or monthly to spring breakers and families during the summer months. In addition, the west-end has seen many updates including the new Pier Park, newer condominiums/subdivisions and will be the starting point to everyone's vacation once the new airport is complete.

If possible, try to buy in walking distance to the beach as you can market this potential spring/summer guests that are looking for a home to stay in, instead of a condo.

I see you've already visited our website, so please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Best wishes. - Wed Sep 3 2008, 06:32

I believe a condominium would be more lucrative in Panama City Beach since the vast majority of investors buy condos here. In fact, its easier to maintain a condo as well since almost every one is managed, landscaped and secured by on-site people. If you buy a beach front home and you do not live in the area, you will have to hire your own landscaper, have your own maintenance man on stand-by and others. Whereas a condominium, you simply pay your electricity most of the time and the association/management handles everything else. In addition, the cost of insurance on owning on the coast is more expensive. If you own a condominium, you split it amongst your community.

If you're thinking about buying a condo in Panama City Beach, please see the link below. It has some of the most popular resorts in our area.

Take care and best wishes. - Fri Aug 22 2008, 14:57

Owner Financing/ lease to own

Joanie Miller answered:
The first thing I would do is ask your real estate agent if they can perform a search for you. If your agent is a part of the Bay County Association of REALTORS, they can perform this search. If you want, send me an email at info@2millers.com and either I or one of my buyer specialist will be more than happy to send you listings that have owner financing or lease option. - Fri Aug 22 2008, 14:48

Mike is absolutely correct. Visit the Bay County Tax Collectors office and/or website for more information about the tax certificate sales. You can also view distressed properties (such as Short Sales) on our website if you wish. We do not require registration and you can narrow it down with condominiums or homes.
