Beachfront Bargain Hunt: A Couple Looks for a Beach House That Will Suit Their Family as Well as Bring in Rental Income

Dennis, Cortney and their two daughters like to get away to the beach whenever they can. But, due to crazy work schedules, sometimes it's tough to actually plan ahead for a vacation. Dennis and Cortney hope that owning a beachfront property of their own will enable them to pack up and head to the beach without having to plan so far in advance. They also hope to find a beach home that will be an investment for their family, primarily through rental income. Crystal Beach, Texas, is about a four-hour drive from where Dennis and Cortney live and also happens to be a huge vacation destination with tremendous rental potential. Dennis and Cortney hope to stay within their budget of $350,000, and with the help of local real estate agent BB Wilson, they explore these beautiful shores for a home on the beach.
