I only give to charities that really have value, and are not skimming most of the money for admin.Time is still the most valuable thing most of us have, so spend it wisely. 

I'd look for a good brand and spend some time looking at reviews from a big box store. 

We are willing to spend up to 500,000.

If it's an entity I've worked with before we may jump directly to the 10yr lease but generally I start at 3yr, and at each review we consider term going forward. 10yr is ideal. 

You don't have to spend a fortune and buy a house directly on the beach to do well, but your starting price point for a viable option in this market is around $350-$450k for a solid 2-3 bedroom oceanfront condo or around $500k for a 3-4 bedroom house within walking distance of the beach. 

.: I am writing this review to express my profound disappointment with James' mentorship program, particularly regarding the conduct of one of his top students, Kristin Witherspoon.

I originally gave them a good review because of their STR policies.

I am trying to look them up and I don't see any reviews on line and nothing with the BBB. 

Hi Warren,  I've only heard positive reviews about M&M but have not personally used them.  

They also get a small bonus on every review they generate.
