I look forward to cruising this site to expand my knowledge and hopefully build some connections.  

The general is as follows:-have a builder that owns a property with a partner on a British Overseas Territory-vacation destination with soon-to-increase traffic via increase in major cruise line stops-they have additional property to offer (at least a portion of) as collateral-plan to build 13 condominium units to sell (already permitted); builder claims to be able to construct in 5 months-looking for an individual or organization interesting in financing the project as a Joint VentureNeed an appropriate staging ground (perhaps within this site?)

I was a longtime lurker, as well, cruising the forums and resources.

Everyone has a different life and definition of happiness.Some would go through torture to extract another 3% out of a property annually and others are happy with XX percent and putting their life on cruise control with a higher quality asset.There are still deals out there but it is a lot of work.

One time I cruised my motorcycle thru some LA County desert stuff and it felt like someone was blowing a hot hair dryer on me.

I am near the airport, cruise port, and beaches.
