Price seems high ($357/night?) considering the lack of hotel amenities and the glut of private home/condo Super Bowl rentals on the market in South Fla right now. The only way this deal will happen is if Jets play Vikings. Otherewise the demand won’t be there. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Be careful in the tenant screening process. And get a big deposit. Lucas I;m sure your friends are legit but I’d be very skeptical doing this if I was coming in from out of town for the game. Plenty of scam artists are seeing $$$. I’m sure… Read more »

Lucas was promoting annual rentals last week—now down to weekly—wonder what is next. Fortune House is only weekly rental in that area I know of.

Joe

Putting this on Craigslist would have been bad enough, but for a Realtor ™ to be pushing a weekly rental that’s almost assuredly a violation of the condo rules is beyond questionable. (I assume this is why Lucas didn’t name the building.)

Visionary

The Building is “The Mark” !

Wild Bill

Illegal rental? What do the condo docs say about weekly rentals?

Drew

Of course its a violation of the condo docs but of course there’s no enforcement either so what’s the risk. The associations have much greater problems (solvency) than to crack down on this stuff.

Also, Super Bowl tourists want to stay on Fort Lauderdale Beach or South Beach. They don’t want to be on Brickell.

SuperBowl tourists want to stay in Pace Park. Everyone knows that.

Juan Carlo

I heard …”The ACE” is selling his 92 Chevrolet Corsica..I wonder if he realizes that he could advertise it here??

Juan Carlo – southbeachsand was being sarcastic…

The largest single Real Estate deal in U.S. history is going back the creditors……”Stuyvesant Town Turned Over to Creditors” — “But their reserves, once stuffed with $890 million for capital improvements, interest payments and renovations, are now virtually depleted. … The rents collected did not cover the mortgage payments”

– Are you listening AJ?

Renter Tom

Perhaps Tishman Speyer Properties and BlackRock Realty thought they could get an 89% premium for water views??? They miscalculated. LOL Couldn’t resist a good joke at the expense of AJ.

AJ

Lucas,
Other bloggers are right. I know you are trying to help your friend out but this listing degrades your blog. This listing belongs on CraigsList, not here. Please resist such pressures in future from your “friends”.

scrivener

Drew, et al: There is another issue here that makes this rental potentially illegal. If I recall correctly, (and note I said “IF”), leases of 6 months or less are subject to taxation under Florida and maybe even the bass-ack-wards local law. Given that the Florida’s economy is somewhere due-south of the toilet, if I owned this unit I would be wary of renting for the Superbowl because if the state finds out, it may come calling for the applicable sales tax, fees and any penalties. I would also be very wary of advertising it – – as this is… Read more »

Stuyvesant was the biggest (and worst) real estate deal ever. $5bn purchase price for 11,000 units (avg $454,500 per unit) and now est value is $1.8bn. I’ve never personally visited Peter Cooper Village/Stuyvesant Town but it looks like prison housing. Or something out of the Communist Bloc.

The Fla state pension fund lost over $250m in that deal.

scrivener

Check that: it is not just a sales tax issue. There is also room tax.

I think that it is such a GOOD DEAL….it might be gone soon.Nobody will have to worry about it.

scrivener

Jonsey:

Sure it’s a great deal. If you can take the glaring light from the AON building illuminating the unit at night – – it may be an idyllic place.

I also imagine that there are owners willing to do the same in the Jade or The Club – – across the street.

drew299

lucas i met a chick at quarterdeck, do you have any hourly deals ??

drew299

but seriously my uncle needs a place for the month of febuary ??

any one month deals ??

stuy town is nice the buildings are typical brown brick but the interior of the complex has 11 playgrounds a huge grassy/park “the oval”

its safe

its not fancy but much nicer than biscayne

short term renatls good for miami

whats the issue with short term rent. they should be doing this all over miami to encourage tourism otherwise put of by high hotel rates or low hotel rates in crap hotels.

plus landlords win becuase they can actually achieve a yield and pay the housing associations and it encourages more investment.

as for it not being in the rules…. bla bla bla… who cares, the buildings half frigging empty anyway!

Joe

Uh, so the solution to “high hotel rates” is to rent a basic condo for around $400 per night with basically *no* hotel amenities?

scrivener

Hotels don’t need an uninsured, unlicensed and untaxed industry to compete with. – – Wild Bill

BRILLIANT!

These short-term rentals are also hard on the building as the associations will have little recourse against the short-term tenants.

The whole notion is unhealthy, unwise and probably fattening.

scriv

Gixxer 1000

Agreed.

The only way this rental makes sense is if 5-6 people cram up in this unit for Sausage Fest XLIV.

Jonsey

Hey Lucas…..are there anymore weekly rentals that you know of??I have a cousin coming in for a week and he will be looking for something.He would only be looking to spend approx. $1000-$1200 for the week.It dosen’t have to have a water view.Thank you Jonsey

Miami or Bust

I have been reading this Blog for some time now.It is very informative …with Lot’s of knowledgeable people constantly writing in.My first question is for that guy AJ..AJ do you think if I come to Miami to look around for a Flat to buy/rent, I could pitch a tent for a few days in that park thats near you?I’m a little short of cash and would like to camo out in PACE PARK…I believe it is.If you could let me know I would appreciate it.

Wild Bill

Short term rentals suck. Miami Beach residents know many mansion owners who tried daily rentals. These properties turned into weekend nightclubs.

The entire county relies on bed taxes. Hotels don’t need an uninsured, unlicensed and untaxed industry to compete with.

Wild Bill

You can live in Pace Park. Many homeless do. City of Miami police only have a few officers in that area. You can easily hide out in the mangroves without paying any hotel taxes. I’m on my iPhone hiding out in the mangroves right now.

If you don’t pay hotel taxes Miami will never be able to finance new projects or pay back old bonds. Miami took on billions with the ball park. If you don’t go to a ball game and eat 10,000 hot dogs per game you’re not helping Miami.

southbeachsand

You can also explore any tantalizing fantasy in Pace Park for around $20. For a more urban stimulation of sensual arousal, nearby 2nd Avenue will let your butter flow.

Miami or Bust

WOW….we can Camp and Play all in the same park? Maybe AJ will be around to give us some advive on renting a condo in his building.

Wild Bill

Google search engine is going to bring up this blog anybody looks up 1800 Club. Surely nobody will want to live their now. AJ single handily managed to bring 1800 Club to its knees. At least the renters are happy.

What do you think about Aventura vs Sunny isles as an investment?

DML

To All:
I try to keep it serious, but I have to admit that the majority of the past 10 posts have been pretty hilarious! On a serious note, I propose that we all get together at Pace Park for a pre-Super Bowl tailgate/keg party and (I hate to do this but I am going to) AJ – can we all use your bathroom?
DML

Juan Carlo

Hey AJ…..that would be very kind of you if we could use your washroom!!!Nobody will have to go behind the bush’s to do there business.Maybe we can use your pool too.Let us know and I will bring my bathing suit.We can all help you promote your Condo Flat. Thank you so much AJ you are a kind man. Juan P.S. I am going to bring all my Sista’s and Brudda’s and all the Bambinos

party party

I can’t wait till the BIG PARTY at PACE PARK hosted by AJ.I will be there with a 14 piece band …we’re going to PARTY all night.Thank you AJ.

Renter Tom

I can’t wait to experience the utopia that is Pace Park and 1800….thanks AJ for volunteering to host the party….I assume you will be personally DJ-ing it too?

party party

Hello RENTER TOM!!!! I am sure AJ will be spinning the tunes for the week-end PARTY.I sure hope you will be in attendance as well.It’s going to be a PACE/1800 CLUB PARTY!!!! I always knew AJ was the Man!!!!!THANKS AGAIN AJ

Renter Tom

Obviously the hobos should be invited too, after all, you should always invite the neighbors when you have a party…. What is an appropriate party gift to bring, since I don’t want the hobos to feel unwelcome….beer, wine, or crack? Please advise.

Wild Bill

Hobos live in Miami Beach. Crack whores live in Pace Park. 1800 You Be Smoking Crack Club. Search engines love 1800 Club.

Renter Tom

1800 Club….so crack is the appropriate party gift then? Sometimes these people settle for just plain cigarettes since they are always trying to bum cigarettes off strangers even if you don’t smoke.

Funny Guy

Maybe we can invite Kevin Tomlinson to the Pace Park Super Bowl Party too. After all, according to his website, “Kevin Tomlinson, the most respected name in Miami Beach luxury condos”. On second thought, I doubt he watches sports………………………

AJ

gixxer, look at the condo ranking page. Long before you logged on this site, Lucas had Blue ranked higher than 1800 Club!!! Blue, that flopped motel style building smack in the middle of a highway! I had to write many livid and incredulous notes before Lucas corrected his mistake. But then, Like some of our past presidents, Realtors never like to say that they have made a mistake. Getting that would be like pulling teeth. And then again, Lucas Ranks Axis Location score at 8.0 and 1800 Club at 6.5!! Has anyone been to Axis and around? Anyone who thinks… Read more »

Now, some serious information: Florida existing home, condo sales up in 2009 South Florida Business Journal After one of the worst housing downturns in recent memory, the state’s real estate market ended 2009 on a positive note. Existing home and condo sales across Florida were higher last year than they were in 2008, according to housing data released by Florida Realtors. Existing home sales rose 31 percent in 2009, with 163,148 homes sold, up from 124,168 homes sold in 2008. Existing condo sales were up 47 percent last year, to 55,985 from 38,095 a year earlier. On the flip side,… Read more »

AJ, You bought in 1800 as a place to live. From my argument in the other thread I think that position is justified. If others wanted to buy in 1800 I would tell them that in my OPINION I think its a good move if you really want to live there. But it is plain and simply not a good investment right now. Stop throwing out random, pointless opinions like the one above unless you have any evidence to the contrary. “Your information of 73 flats owned by Developer is wrong and PROBABLY dated.” Go to miamidade.gov and look up… Read more »

Visionary – Distressed home sales made up a large chunk of the increase if not all of it. “Distressed homes accounted for 36 percent of total sales last year.” That was apparently for the nation. In our area the number is likely higher. As a stats exercise, if you have 10,000 units that sell in 2008 and then have 15,000 units sell in 2009, that is a 50% increase in sales yoy…..however, the increase makes up only 33% of sales and so the distressed sales of 36% exceeds the increased sales amount. I am sure you are aware of this….although… Read more »
