Since I personally always get the most out of conferences when I have dedicated time after to decompress, digest, and implement what I've learned, I booked a private beachfront villa with some friends for a few days immediately following BPCON (checking in the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th, checking out the morning of the 12th) just a few miles up the beach from the Moon Palace Resort, and we have a couple of beds still available so I wanted to extend the invite to folks here.A couple photos of the villa are below, and some of my favorite features of this place include:- Direct beach access off the back porch- Private heated infinity pool- Private furnished terrace- Private resort access- Wifi- Indoor jacuzzis- Private kitchen- Air conditioningShoot me a DM if you're interested!

As for foundation or other concerns about the condition of the property, there's no real way to know for sure since you don't have access to inspect the house before the auction (hence the risk).

I have a small real estate portfolio and a long investing horizon as I'm in my early 30s.Thoughts on why to stop 401k:- no match benefit- returns are very low avg. annual ~5.5% last 3 years net of fees- can only borrow up to 50k from 401k - limited access to capital until retirement age Thoughts on why it could be good to invest in ETFs or general securities example instead(SPY) :- higher returns 9% avg annual last 3 years net of fees - access to capital - securities backed line of credit (could be used as another form of liquidity to continue purchasing real estate) - long-term mitigated tax liability - if you never sell the underlying securities and instead use the line of credit as a form of liquidity to purchase assetsIt seems like this could be a long-term strategy with limited tax liability. 

Since I'm an agent I do have access to non-owner occupied properties so my challenge lies in determining cost-effective marketing strategies. 

They should have access to a 10% down mortgage loan for a second home.

The area is only accessible by ferry, so that means large crowds on Saturdays. 

Make sure you clearly identify the common areas (accessible to everyone living in the unit) and the private areas (like individual bedrooms).

Market risk comes more from location of property in market, access, highest and best use for property, ability to revenant property, size of market, etc.

OOS is way more challenging than advertised.
