So a $1M home could actually be less risky than a $300k home depending on your margins, whether it’s a tourism-only market vs somewhere you could also rent long term if the tourism market takes a nose dive, how favorable the regulatory environment will be over the next decades, etc.I personally would be hesitant to buy a home in a tourism-only market where my acquisition price implies razor thin profit margins - what happens if we hit a recession, people pull back on discretionary spending (vacations), and I can’t afford to lower prices bc I need to pay my mortgage?

While I did shoot a "Sorry I was wrong" email over to my current loan officer, I did imply that I am still interested in other options, whether that be what she could offer with her company or somewhere else.Any "must-do" tips when calling around and trying to learn what lenders can offer?

I recently commented in a thread where a self-proclaimed expert implies that a borrower's escrow account can be assigned to a wrap borrower.  

I guess I was not clear with my original post, the "Broker 1% origination fee" implies that I am using a professional loan broker, they are pretty large and were referred to me by another good friend, who is a RE investor.

Does this imply that 15 years from now the prices will not be higher?
