When you finance through national lenders, in your experience, is a balloon a common requirement for commercial loans of this nature or is it possible to get a fixed rate for 30 years?  

I specifically target (with my wording) luxury travel, nature lovers, beach goers and couples.  

Just curious if any particular type of structure has the best ROI or is the most desirable by renters looking to get away from it all and relax in nature? 

Low property taxes (1.1%) and not a lot natural disasters as well.

It’s a way to earn solid interest returns without owning property.Keep Riding the Stock Market – If your stock investments are performing well and you enjoy the passive nature of it, you could consider leveraging your equity via a HELOC or cash-out refi to invest more without selling the property.Alternative Asset Classes – If you want diversification, look into things like farmland investing (e.g., AcreTrader), fractional ownership in vacation rentals (e.g., Arrived), or even short-term storage units.It all comes down to your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and how involved (or uninvolved) you want to be.

And of course it has worked incredibly well on the money raising side.. what I see happening is a very natural progression with someone who has the visibility and popularity as Brandon.. it takes a huge support staff and fulfillment team to create what we are seeing.I think you are on to something.I think Brandon's role is not necessarily to find the deal or to manage the deal.

As interest rates rise, they naturally cut into potential cash flow on a property.

Besides, Lorrie Morgan was no Patty Loveless or even Pam Tillis :P And I liked her husband better anyway; frankly, if he hadn't died I don't think anyone would even know who Lorrie Morgan I agree that Lorrie was not the natural talent that Patty was (best ever, IMHO), but she did have a pretty serious voice.....helps to have a famous and successful Dad and go on the Grand Ole Opry at age 13 !!

And, because flips are already risky enough I don't want to add more risk.So, again, while the numbers are theoretically true, if you are doing that kind of volume, you are by nature becoming less selective. 

The tenant in common nature of the ownership would tell me that you would only be related to your mother in laws portion at the most.
