Paperwork and Transaction Format
Form of ownership — condominium. Foreign buyers can purchase real estate in Florida. The transaction is closed at a title company with registration in Miami-Dade County. Online viewings and remote closing by power of attorney are possible.
If You Are Considering It as an Investment
The key feature of this listing is the ability to rent short-term. The description states: the unit can be rented through the hotel program, a management company, or independently (Airbnb, VRBO) [source]. This distinguishes it from many other units at Trump International, which are tied to the hotel program and do not allow self-management.
However, the short-term rental rules in Sunny Isles Beach require attention. The city defines short-term rental as a term of 6 months or less. For legal rental, it is necessary to obtain a separate city license for each unit, as well as written consent from the condominium association. A city permit does not override restrictions set by the building's bylaws. Additionally required are a Florida DBPR license, Florida tax registration, and a Miami-Dade County tourist tax account. Penalties for violations start at $1,000 for the first violation.
If the unit is indeed not part of the hotel program and the building's bylaws permit short-term rental, this creates potential for income. The HOA of $2,168 per month is a significant fixed burden. The source contains no data on declared yield.
Best Suited For
— Investors seeking a unit in a condo-hotel with the option of self-management and short-term rental (subject to building and city rules).
— Buyers who want to use the studio for personal holidays and rent it out when away.
— Those who value resort infrastructure (pools, spa, restaurants, tennis) and direct beach access.
May Not Suit
— If your budget does not account for the HOA of $2,168 per month and the tax of about $3,483 per year.
— If you plan to live with pets — not allowed.
— If you are not prepared to verify the rental rules with the association and the city — rental is impossible without a license.
— If information on yield is critical — no data, and expenses are high.
What to Know Before the Deal
The unit is positioned as a private one, with the option of renting through the hotel program or independently. This is a key difference from many other units at Trump International, which are tied to the hotel program. However, it is necessary to request documentary confirmation from the seller that the building's bylaws permit short-term rental and that the unit has no restrictions. Also check whether the unit is part of a program that may restrict personal use.
When buying, be sure to check the association's financial condition, the size of the reserve fund, and the presence of special assessments. The HOA of $2,168 per month is a significant burden that should be taken into account when planning the budget.
