Just Listed: 1800 Atlantic Unit C129. These are the basics: List price is $469,900 or $358 per sq ft. It is the lowest priced unit at 1800 Atlantic with a transient license which means you can legally rent the unit on a nightly basis to help cover your mortgage cost. CLICK HERE for more info and photos.
The unit has 1357 sq ft of space so it is identical to about 90% of the other units there. A couple are larger because they are located directly on the ocean; one is a 3 bedroom, and there is a smaller unit with one bedroom. Otherwise, the units are the same. The difference is the location and whether the unit has an ocean view, street view, or mangrove view. But the units basically rent for the same price.
The unit is not furnished and the kitchen has not been updated since the unit was built. If you are not buying the unit to live in, that is not a big deal and it certainly is not going to effect the average daily rate you charge renters.
1800 Atlantic is located directly on the ocean and has a private beach, huge pool, spa, covered parking, and tennis courts.

This particular unit is Bank Owned. The prior owner purchased it in April 2005 and paid $742,000. The unit is priced today at $469,900 and reflects the new reality. I have sold and listed & sold units there and I tell my customers that they must treat their investment as an investment to make money. They need to hire the right management company and keep the unit rented as much as possible. A lot of people buy a property like this and then spend valuable prime season time in the unit or let their friends or family use the unit for free. Wrong idea. The unit is there to pay for itself, not to give your friends a free Key West vacation.
So if you think you might be interested in buying a nice unit at 1800 Atlantic give me a call at 305-766-2642 to schedule a showing. Don't wait. I really think this unit will sell fairly quickly.
