There are a good number of meet ups and networking events in the area where you could meet other investors, agents, lawyers, etc. and get to know the other players in the area.

It sounds like I should look into my primary residence first strictly on the basis of getting more favorable rates/fees, and only look at the rental as a last resort...thanks!!

I was there last week and looked at a 2 bed 2 bath condo that was listed for $650K at Azul fives resort.

Because this is a vacation "resort" and over 50% of the units are owned by absentee owners/investors I cannot get tradational financing.

My long term goal for real estate is to get into business with the most luxurious real estate such as multi million dollar homes, 5 star hotels, casinos, resorts etc. 

Seems like it has a lot of potential with downtown and the ski resort.

Even people on the brink of foreclosure can be in denial and resort to putting their heads in the sand.

We did a 506C for one of our Funds for our resort project in Belize.  

Great vendors are key players in this business.

I felt it was worth giving each potential buyer that choice, rather than paying for those things in advance.Hopefully your Seller will NOT be angry with you if they see their home listed at a significantly higher price - because you will have already TOLD them that in order find them a cash-Buyer at the agreed Sale price by your due date, you may resort to using all the resources you have available, including your reputable and gets-the-job-done Realtor, right?...
