It seems PMs don't make a ton of money for all that they do and their incentives don't always line up with investor's incentives (i.e. getting paid more for turnover in terms of tenants when I'd prefer no turnover or vacancy).Sorry for the long intro, but having said that, I have a few questions...   

I followed the advice from the insiders I'm connected with, which happened to corroborate my own judgement.Personally, I much prefer to stay in a short-term rental than an all-inclusive resort.

Everyone has to balance their own risk / reward preferences.)I would continue to follow real estate, follow the conversations in the forums, save money, watch for opportunities (there are always diamonds in the rough that are out there - you just have to find them), and work to move yourself to the best position to be able to be an investor.  

I also mentioned that if he would rather we ask all our  questions via email, than speak on the phone, to let us know his preferred mode of communication.

You have my email and phone number if you’d prefer to actually speak with me directly and professionally.  

I don't know about you but I prefer to own in New York City.Mind you, if you like the place and $115k isn't a large amount for you, you might as well try it (and let us know how you do).

IMHO I think the draw to the Poconos is it's proximity to two monster metropolitan markets and their middle and professional class who may prefer in many cases to tone it down from places like Miami, Hawaii, Vail, or Stowe, and instead have the luxury of a 1.5-2 hour car trip to somewhere where they will save on airfare, get a good deal on their accommodations, and still have loads of fun with their families without having to deal with exorbitant vacation costs and aggravating travel arrangements. 

If it were me, I'd search the net for title attorneys, preferably in the county where the property is located.In my opinion, the onus is on the third party to prove up the terms of the agreement. 

However, the overall cost of homeownership will remain high, influencing buyer preferences towards more affordable properties​​.Rental MarketThe rental market in Birmingham shows a trend with year-over-year rent prices increasing along month-over-month prices rising slightly.

Deposits are refundable, so I prefer monthly rent increases.
