I typically will do all of the research, due diligence and have my team work with the borrower for a desired outcome of reperformance and cash flow, or an exit of Deed In Lieu or foreclosure as the last resort. 

@Michael Kugler, we have narrowed it down to a couple of resorts over by Table Rock lake, Fall River and Pointe Royale, I believe.

-- That is how we started out, and many other people have repeated this idea, as we are also blessed to live in a resort area with 13 million tourists each year--making the income properties possible.

I would love a referral however I am in Florida, and I've been hearing hard money lenders are the last resort.

I would use cash for keys/eviction as a last resort.  

Showings.I know you can do quite a bit with multi-media for resort property, etc., but for average everyday SFR rentals, showings are a major drain on time.

I'm still learning myself, I want to be that person that gave someone a chance that changed their lives.I want an island resort, I'm not stuck on Fiji, but I love South Pacific region despite the conditions.

As a last resort, nonpaying tenants tend to try this tactic.

Due to the Dodd Frank Act (Google search: Repeal Dodd Frank), which is to blame for the current over-regulated mortgage market, many lenders have had to resort to basing part of their LOs (loan originators)  compensation on "APPLICATION QUOTAS."  

Eviction is always a last resort..
