I am not self promoting, there is plenty of advice you can get right here on BP, I am only offering to help someone in need in the Christmas season.

I'm looking at listing it on the MLS and putting a sign out front when I have it fixed up this weekend (great timing with Christmas), but I was wondering if there are other websites or advertising that other people have had success with?

Merry Christmas.

I'd say get them on by Christmas, because many people will have time off to do some home shopping, at least on the web.

I have a grandson who has come and worked with me several different times on learning how to buy and rehab foreclosures, and this Christmas vacation came and learned quite a bit on selecting properties and construction of homes.

You can also look at the history and see that the index consistently follows a pattern based on holidays with Christmas being the low every year.

It went under contract Christmas Eve.

When you have issues you have to tear down in stages carefully which costs more time and money.For lenders existing mixed use developments are more risky to finance and ground up construction is extremely risky.With you not having a track record in commercial much less doing ground up developments I do not see anywhere close to you just putting down 25% unless you partner with a developer that has experience and can back up the loan in case of default with trophy assets.

I have not done it yet, but I am planning on next Christmas.

One other interesting thing about naples is a recent article about "trophy rentals" where they cited prices as high as 35K a month in the area.
