I can go through my Thompson broker instead.

I’ve done my research on a few markets and comps over the last year but just doing my due diligence to clarify some of the gray areas that stood out to me.

Quote from @Myrtle Mike Thompson: @Jeff Ebert I've really enjoyed working with Declan McGonigal with MyBeach Vacation Rentals. 

Quote from @James Thompson Thompson: What are everyone’s thoughts on the best STR markets to invest in now that will experience the most growth and appreciation in 2025-26?

I am positioned to begin investing in real estate with all-cash deals but am just trying to learn as much as I can and meticulously plan my strategy so there are no gray areas where I would sacrifice opportunity or create unnecessary risk.What threw me off on refinancing was just my misunderstanding of the terminology.

Interesting as I am seeing more "fund of fund" models which are really just people raising money for these sponsors (will not get into legalities of this on whether it is in a gray area or not). 

@Jay Hinrichs is correct in that a securities attorney would require the disclosure of past issues but the gray area comes to disclosing highly likely future issues that have not been realized yet.

This one is a little gray for you. 

@Myrtle Mike Thompson hit in on the head.we did around 145k in our two beach houses this year but we bought two 4/4's for $570k that are worth around 1.2mm right now and used mostly cash, leverage of around 200k from a portfolio- total on them.deals are out there but in my opinion you need a good realtor for boots on the ground and insert yourself into the market your looking to buy.

@Anthony Thompson I agree, there is no time like now (whatever time your looking is now).Sometimes you win, but you always lose if you never start.
