Looks like you're not pulling in any Tallahassee weekenders in the shoulder seasons.  

Drop the chip on your shoulder, open your mind, and just have a polite and friendly conversation.

Supporting the family falls on my shoulders, so in the end I will decide what is best in that area.

I got two strong young guys at Home Depot on a Saturday morning and they dug them up; lines were about two feet deep where they came out under the foundation, and about shoulder deep at the sidewalk (city property line).

We'd also take some weight off our shoulders by managing a property out-of-state, and we'd get our down payment plus the profit back post-sale, and have about $150K for a future purchase.

If summer is booked solid, are you promoting shoulder season (May - Oct) and spring/winter months?

Best of luck to you brother, It sounds like you have a solid head on your shoulders and congrats on the 4 units!

  :) I suggest you join local real estate groups it's through rubbing shoulders and learning from locals in your area that you learn the fastest 2nd fastest is buying education from folks like Joe McCall and John Jackson..

You can hire a BIC eligible broker to be your BIC, it'll probably take a few tries I am guessing most will be a bit hesitant to shoulder the liability, but they are out there.The big thing that the NCREC cares about is that you will be handling "other peoples money" so make sure you have right bank accounts setup and a good Prop Mgt SW that will let you handle the accounting.

You'll get more bookings in the shoulder months when the pool might otherwise be too chilly to enjoy.
