Provide extras - the ultra-personal touch.I just love when people try to super overcharge for their services.

That will help narrow down the questions - if an investment you'll focus on the high tourist area with major airports flying in/out, good local transportation system, less than an hour drive from the airport, a low crime rate etc.If personal then you'll look for an environment that suits your taste (tropical, party central, secluded, dive-friendly, luxury, affordable etc).Almost every island I've visited has realtors from America who decided to setup shop there and help out-of-state investors purchase property.

It's more of a luxury property but supposedly they can perform really well as full time rentals.

In some markets, 1BR luxury couples stays are best and in some 6+ bedrooms are best.

Wholesaling is going to be a whole different down payment than rehabbing mansions in Beverly Hills.

You see a boat jetting across the bay and then he walks into a luxury house.   

I am looking for clean and rent ready finishes, not luxury or custom.

@Gladys Villa - If you're young, have no kids, and are just starting your real estate investment journey without having experienced the luxury and pleasures of a single-family residence (SFR) with your own backyard and separation from neighbors, the best way to get started is with a duplex.

Purchase price: $726,000 Cash invested: $1,300,000 Sale price: $4,500,000 We are developing a 4 story a luxury Duplex.Property is primed for short term rentals with conservative estimates of ($40,000-$50,000) per month.

All I’m seeing are the same set of ultra-vague talking points about “a deal they just closed for 1.7 million”. 9k for what, exactly?
