@Ryan Enk My market is permit free year round glorious occupancy and hundreds of workers at your finger tips so you can self manage from any distance. 13 million tourists, 12 thousand residents.

This will prevent it from sticking to your finger or the areas around your bead.

I have an itchy trigger finger, part of the reason why I like real estate is because it forces me to do better homework and stick with it for the long term.I guess my worry is, am I dumb for not "sheltering" money in a Solo 401k at all?

@Walter Aaron Poling has his finger on the pulse when it comes to investor type properties, too.I’m not an agent but own properties in those markets.

I personally would recommend a realtor, as they usually have their finger on the pulse of the market.

Thankyou everyone. i've learn a lot. finger cross.

Fingers crossed that it's actually an amazing deal like you thought and not a scam at all!

Fingers crossed I get some type of recouped payment.  

Age aside, personally I find that the airbnb app and platform are way more functional and user-friendly on my android and iPad, and now our new iMac but I know I'm biased against VRBO, for some reason I can't put my finger on. 

I found the Bigger Pockets Money podcast, then Bigger Pockets podcast itself and now I am here in the forums, researching and planning to invest within the next calendar year *fingers crossed*.
