Finally Bought a House in Florida! Now need a renter

[seminoledq]

Well folks it finally happened. I've been threatening to do so for years and a couple weeks ago we finally closed on a house in Florida. The catch is we can't move in yet until sometime next year after our youngest takes off to college. That's where the power of the Locker Room comes in. I need to find a renter for the next year or so. Here are the details:

Home is in Seminole (not Seminole Heights thankfully)
1 mile from Indian Shores Beach, 45 minutes to TPA and 30 minutes to downtown St. Pete
4 bedroom/2 bath
1905 square feet
Saltwater, screened in pool
Flexible lease terms anywhere from 7-12 months
$2700

Email me at screen name at the G mail and I can send you the listing if you or anyone in your network is interested. I appreciate any referrals from the group.

We are pumped that the plan is starting to take shape and by this time next year I should have shoveling snow in my rear view mirror.

Can it be used as a hydroponic farm? Asking for a friend.

Congrats on the house. Now purge your life as you don't want to move all your stuff! Esp the winter stuff.

Good choice. My sister lived there for years, I'm a big believer in elevation Seminole comes up off the bay on a bit of a ridge.

If I could rent out my house here in Texas for half that, I'd gladly trash your house for you for a year.

What was the thinking behind buying now and needing a renter? Renters suck and even good ones don't take care of a home the way owners do.

We've been shopping for a while and nothing ever came up that checked just about all of our boxes. When this one did we didn't want to pass it up. I don't want to be a landlord for long but I would prefer someone else pay for it until we move.

We actually looked at one nearby that had an entire lily greenhouse and of course the realtor said, "well you're from Colorado so you can grow whatever you want in here"

Yup. Only a mile from the beach and still no flood insurance required.

Come on over to Walton County, home of the highest point in Florida at 345'.

Yeah, and I wanna blank Angie Dickinson. Let's see who gets lucky first. Junior Soporano.

Dunno...6 months of cold or 6 months of heat and humidity.

Can you keep both homes and split time?

You want to get our of the Boulder area to move to Florida?

Why may I ask?

Can but don't want to. We don't mind the heat and want to be near the water. It's a much better fit for our lifestyle.

We are terrible Coloradans. Don't hunt/fish/camp/hike/bike/ski/snowboard. And we hate being cold.
We want to be by the water where it's warm all year. It's been our plan for many years, it's just crazy that it's almost time to execute it. We are going to keep our home in Boulder County for a while as our daughter will likely live there while she finishes school.

That makes sense. Gratz and good luck on the move.
