That all being said, I'd love to hear from others on great places to invest in Vacation Rentals in areas where you can adventure travel-so ski/mountain towns, fun cities and even the desert...or anything with awesome hiking as I don't get to do that a lot in Florida (but we do get to surf and fish a lot so it evens out).  

for first time syndicators with 1 year experience... fishing in the same 100 unit+ ponds REITS do... in the low yield market conditions we've all been facing, that got even tougher in the last 2 years. 

I think th OPs response to this was also a little aggressive with youthful chip fully displayed on sleeve, however, chewing the meat and spitting out the bones, there's some good actionable advice here.There's an old saying that if a man is hungry and you give him a fish you've fed him for a day.

I love that.. cooking recipes  how to fix things.. lots of aviation and fishing and other stuff that interest me.. 

So, I believe syndicators prefer to do business with the naive and easier fish.

What he wanted me to do is submit a signed offer that I thought was really a mutual agreement and have no idea that he was going to nest on it for a while to go fishing.

Same thing with drivers licenses , fishing licenses, car registrations.

I live in KS - a LOT of people here have trucks same as in OK, TX, NE, SD, CO, NM etc - I spend most of my time in these states - it's what we use - a lot of people know how to work on stuff around here and are mechanically inclined - anyways - if you can get other uses out of it and it will benefit you in other ways then why not - I love to hunt/fish and just got back from hunting antelope in NM - so my pickup serves me in many ways.Another way is to buy a larger SUV (tahoe, expedition/Suburban) put a trailer hitch on it and get a used cargo trailer, and a utility trailer - if you hunt around you can pick up both for cheap including the SUV.If you have no functional use for a pickup in your everyday life then dont waste the money. 

Cash offers are sometimes the only competitive advantage you have as an out of state investor, basically you can be a “Big fish in a little pond”.

I grew up fishing/bike riding Lake Hodges.
