I'll buy the coffee! 

Yea I suppose that'd be an issue for those folks.

It is my firm belief that money will not be an issue if the deal is right.

While we like Seabrook and would use it sparingly ourselves, this would be an investment so unless the numbers make sense, we would just rent if we want to go there and invest elsewhere.To be fair, you can't use the STR numbers for the surrounding towns as they really are not that similar.  

Life is such a funny thing sometimes - and I'm right on the opposite side of the fence to some extent here; I'm not necessarily a "big gov't" or "small gov't" guy, but I am a "don't be an unreasonable pain in the *** gov't" guy, and at least in my neck of the woods permitting is a royal PITA for very low value.

I'd be glad to talk anytime, meet up for coffee, etc.  

You can close in an LLC with a DSCR loan, but DSCR would not be an option if you plan to occupy since it's a business purpose loan - you'd have to rent out both units. 

As an agent, you can certainly still be an investor and look for land to buy, BUT your state likely has laws requiring you disclose that you are a licensee.

Spill your coffee?

If its truly intended to be an investment I say look at a different market and use the extra money to rent a sick house for a week or two in Florida.
