712 Southard Street is the kind of property so many would-be buyers want. Now it is priced to sell. The asking price has been reduced to $699,000.
I have been selling houses in Key West since late 1996. Almost every buyer I have met with or corresponded with says the same thing "I want a place that I can eventually retire to. In the meantime, I would like to be able to rent the house and have it help pay for itself." Most potential buyers are realistic enough to realize that most properties will not totally cash flow and make them money. They just don't want the drain to be excessive. The house at 712 Southard Street has been recently updated. The house has 1026 sq ft of living space which includes two bedrooms, two baths, a new kitchen in the sawtooth addition at the rear. The icing on the cake is the absolutely beautiful pool. CLICK HERE for more detailed information and to view photos of this charming home.
The house at 712 Southard Street would make a great monthly vacation rental. You can't beat the location. It is near everything but it is not next door to all the noise and commotion. People that return to Key West year after year know exactly what they want and how much they want to spend. There are many cute little houses in Old Town that get rented year after year by the same people. This property is a listing of Preferred Properties Coastal Realty, Inc. (That's where I work.) I have held open houses at this property on several different occasions. Everybody raves about the pool. I think that pool is the chief reason this house would be a smash hit as a vacation rental. The pool exudes what people dream about in a Key West home.

One thing to point out Gary - anyone wanting a home to use as a vacation rental in Old Town MUST have a pool. No one wants to rent a home without one and get rentals over the season. I have seen far too many homes sit vacant except for major events like Fantasy Fest because they did not have a decent pool. Food for thought....
