The owners may agree to carry part of the financing, but you won't need them to stick around to transition operations.After acquiring the properties and assets you wish, you would either run your own business, or part-out and resell some of the assets.From your post, it does not sound like parting out the properties is a viable path and where you admit to having no experience with vacation rentals or the resort business, you might want to explore purchasing the business with the current owners hanging around for a bit to help you get your feet wet.Regardless of approach, it needs to have legs to be worth pursuing.

Thanks for reaching out and best wishes! 

I am wishing you success in your foray into Albany, NY and look forward to running into you in the forums or meetups.

Arbitrage can be really great, I wish you the best of luck!! 

I wish I had a million dollar property for her to sell.  

People think the federal government can make any law they wish, but that isn't actually true.

I wish you all the best in your investing journey!

I did, but I wish I would have done a lot more. 

I wish she had consulted with me earlier, but she is happy to have it regardless if it was a good investment.  

Trust you have made a decision by now and wish you all the best.
