Aside from the real estate, I quite enjoy cruising around on my towns boardwalk and family gatherings.

That's where I find tax info here where I am, though sometimes I must first look-up a property's PIN by address, then the property page will have a link to the tax collector's office.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

So far of the places you traveled what is your favorite travel destination?

, I really like the idea of ST vacation rental in either Orlando or Destin, FL!

You have to factor in HOA fees, and most of the time they are hefty in destination spots.For me, between HOA fees, my HELOC payment (which id use as a down payment), and the mortgage PITI, id be taking too much of a risk.

ps: Yes, lets cruise together to the meet up. 

I have since then spent a lot of time in the forums, as well as listened to most of the amazing podcasts and I've now decided it's time to take the step and become more active since I am convinced this is one of the best networking resources for people interested in real estate.Anyway - a little about myself: I am currently a 2nd officer at a cruise line in Asia, which means I do 8 weeks of work followed by 8 weeks off, thus leaving me with 6 months of vacation a year, meaning I have plenty of time to think about what to do with my money. 

It's a little tough to show a 3/2, $900 a month rental in Texas while you are on a cruise in the Mediterranean.

As a hard money lender in Miami, I personally believe that South Florida will not lose their values since it is a much desired destination to live.

Just cruise around these forums there is a ton of great info!
