When I purchased my property, I had read all the exciting developments in the works...indoor waterpark, shops, new hotels, restaurants, etc., but was severely disappointed when I went recently with my family. 

Bought this butterfly coffee table and had a second one made.  

We should grab a coffee!

If your not shopping you loan I feel you arent doing your job as an investor. 

If there were ever a time to shop multiple carriers and even multiple agents (if necessary), that time is now. 

I work a full time job at a wood shop building custom cabinetry.

Next piece of advice is shop this deal around with someone through the forums or local real estate groups (google for your area). 

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

And just the other day, I was grabbing coffee with a friend who reps a group of invsetors out in San Antonio.. they got burned early on by not clarifying their rental criteria, picking up a triplex that sounded good on paper but turned out to have a revolving door of problematic tenants.A baseline business plan isn’t just a mind-numbing exercise.. it’s the guardrail that keeps your momentum from swerving off into the ditch.

- Do you want an ocean view, or is proximity to the water or to resort amenities like fine dining or shops most important?
