There are markets that have as yet recovered from the collapse of real estate however a market such as mine,( resort, high 2nd & 3rd homes), never fell off more than 5-8%.

(reposting...I don't think the first one went through properly, my bad)I'm an Operations Manager for a commercial architectural metal, stone and wood restoration in the SF Bay Area with experience managing resort facilities in remote locations in Kauai, Hawaii and rural area outside of Austin, TX.  

Leaving the state would be a last resort but the plan is to stay here and get established with rental properties. $5,000 to $10,000 for an emergency fund is actually a lot more realistic than what I first pictured.

You can partner, you can also find money guys, just remember they get paid so any deal you do will get skinnier for you, often it's not worth the effort as a first resort.

I am looking for a 150+ unit complex as a sponsor, along w/ my sister-in-law and another partner, and we will not be resorting to those types of fees, either.   

As a last resort a skip trace can be useful when locating an owner.

Hi everyone,Does anyone have experience renting out their condo (not a time share) that they purchased from a resort.

Foreclosure is a last resort that costs time and money.

It sounds like I should look into my primary residence first strictly on the basis of getting more favorable rates/fees, and only look at the rental as a last resort...thanks!!

I was there last week and looked at a 2 bed 2 bath condo that was listed for $650K at Azul fives resort.
